Surely if you have a child you are responsible for its upbringing, however it turns out?
Residential care is surely the course of last resort?
I have a very severely disabled second cousin. His parents (with great regret) were forced to put him in residential care because he became physically too strong/heavy for them to handle. They did not see residential care as an "option".
and copy this from another thread, that I wish to god I hadn't read.
is this really what the "norms" think.
I am gobsmacked. do they really think that we just see residential care as an "option"
do they really think that we just dump our much loved child on the state
please discuss
