Sometimes I've thought that too... and felt guilty about it. But in some ways it would make life easier for all of us. I'd be a lot less worried about her living in a structured environment like that. In the real world she is a danger to herself.
Last night I felt so bad about everything that I told my sister I would let her see her daughter tomorrow for lunch and that I'd supervise them. I did this because the judge said we had a little time to organize the supervised visits and I felt bad letting my niece and her mother go for another week without seeing each other. So I offered this as a carrot. I'm probably going to get my hand bitten off for it... but I just didn't know what else to do. I have to be able to live with myself too. Even if I have no hands.
