I feel sorry for the children too. I think they should be allowed to visit their mother even if their father remarries. Between the husband and the grandparents I don't think there's an easy resolution to where the money goes. The mother needs care for her brain injury but there will be ongoing expenses for the children too.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

The whole thing is very sad but I see no reason why the maternal grandparents and the mother can't have contact with the triplets. They make it sound like the mother abused her kids when in fact she almost gave her life giving birth to them. Nobody will ever be able to say for sure to what extent the mother feels or understands. There is no reason to keep her kids away from her, kids learn to adapt at a very young age and as they get older they will resent being kept away from her.
Something smells fishy about the whole scenario, for one thing the father wanting money to help raise his kids....what would he be doing if his wife hadn't gotten that money and went home as a whole person with the triplets...what does he do for a living is my question.

Oh my gosh are you kidding me? The mom is a veggie salad. The kids do not need to see or be exposed to a veggie. She is incapable of giving them any love, attention, support.................
Yes I feel sorry for her, but it's over, the cards have been dealt. Now the husbend and the kids need to forge ahead and make a normal life for themselves and grandma and grandpa should put daughter in a nursing home and get on with their lives.
If that was me I would not want my children to dwell on what has happened to me, I would want them to go ahead and enjoy their lives to the fullest. Life is for the living and is to be enjoyed.
I have told all of my kids, if I stroke out enjoy life, every precious second and don't fret about me. My time has passed, it's ok to be happy and do your thing.

OMG - I can't believe you have posted what you have!
I found this post to be very cruel and cold...... Veggie salad???
How do you know what this woman is capable of?? Are you part of her rehab team??? Have you personally seen and evaluated her???
And it seems as tho the husband has already forged ahead - he divorced his wife afterall.
And perhaps YOU should tell grandma and grandpa to put their daughter in a nursing home and get on with their lives. Hellooooooooooooo - but I think you missed something - their daughter IS their life, and they are doing what they WANT and feel they NEED to do for her. Perhaps "some people" would put her away so that she is out of sight/out of mind, but I don't believe any parent that loves their child and has the ability to give/assist in the needed care, would ever resort to such measures.
And the little ones - they should most definitely have a relationship with their mother, no matter how limited and/or one sided that it may be. IMO - there are very few instances in which a child should not have contact with a parent, and this woman's condition isn't one of them.

It's heartbreaking. IMO the children should be allowed to visit their mother with proper supervision. One day they are going to know of her existence and want to know about their mother. If they are kept from her then their father will have some awkward questions to answer.
Why does everything have to come down to money?

I believe every one has a right to their opinion. But in Marigolds original post (re-posted below) she is not just stating an opinion. She is saying these people should think she the way she does and that's it! They are not her and obviously do not share her way of thinking. That is what bothered me about this to begin with. I have read each post since then and think it's fine that she has her opinion. But to be so harsh with the first post and act like every one should have the same thoughts she does was just not okay.
And I'm going to say again......if the father had let the children see their mother from the beginning there would be nothing scary about her to them.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

Since you posted my first post, please look at what I said.
If it was me............... I would want my children to get on with their lives.
No one commented on this. No one said she really must love her kids to give up their love and affection so that they could live full lives.
No one commented on living wills or DNR orders which can be in the same catagory as veggie or coma. Yet most of us do not want to be hooked on to machines and have our families see us like this nor do we want to live like a veggie on a machine. Many of us would rather die.
As for digging a hole, yes I dug and found myself covered in many peoples mucky words, trying to make me the bad guy when as I said in my first post I would give up my life so I would not be a burden to my family, my friends, or the medical system.
By the way I found some diamonds while I dug and I am not sharing them.
