[QUOTE="Tamlkt, post: 660663, member: 19272"] I thought about asking my mom to come and stay. Not sure if she can. She takes care of my grandmother. My husband is set on having her not here. He feels and thinks that she will burn down our house (on purpose or not). When we asked her if she knew what could happen if the fire got out of control.. her response "no, well maybe the house could burn down", with no feeling behind it. I told her not only that, but her family could die. "Well, that too." I don't know whether or not we have access to someone staying here. All great advice and definitely sounds reasonable, as much as possible. My son's teacher sent me an email after I somewhat updated her on what's going on here. She told me that as hard as it might be, I need to keep her separated as much as possible from my son. That alone scare's me. She can be hanging out in the living room and then go to her room and "cut" and then be hell on wheels. Soon, our insurance will run out and I feel the only way she can get the help she needs is for someone to take her. I'm told by a child psychologist that I've done all I can and her care is out of my reach. Unfortunately, she is a relative of mine. I feel bad for her at the same time of wanting her out. I know a lot of it's not her fault, but some of it, is controllable. We only have until tomorrow to decide. [/QUOTE]
