[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 357767, member: 1233"] I would keep working on him. Fran mentioned some resources that will probably help a lot. I think you are a really great mom to recognize that your other children may not be willing or able to help him in the future. I have seen a LOT of parents who expected a sibling to care for another sibling with a handicap. It is nice to think that they will be close and help each other, but reality is not always what we wish. And iwth the economy it may not be feasible for your children to live close to each other depending on spouses and jobs etc... It shows a lot of love for each and every single one of your kids to recognize this and work to not put that responsibility on them. I really admire that. I hope that your kids help each other and stay close out of love for each other, and i think that you have set the stage for that as much as can possibly be done. That is so cool. I am sort of envious. My husband and his sister do not speak except at Christmas and maybe one other holiday each year. I will NOT be close to my bro after my parents pass. Not unless a whole lot changes between now and then. So I really admire the foundation you are setting up for your kids to be close. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
