There's a common mother-son attachment that's usually present everywhere. The mother was so much attached, that she was blinded from the right decision, one she would not want to make. Now that the wife has made the decision to do so, the M-I-L now has a scapegoat to relieve her stress about the situation.

Your friend did what she had to do. It would be so nice to have all the money in the world so she could keep him at home and have a private nurse to help her. But since she lives in the real world, she did the only thing she could. She has two children who need food, shelter, clothes, and their mother. Taking care of someone totally bed ridden is not a full time job-it's a never ending job. 24-7 no breaks no time outs. His Mother should have step up to the plate and help her. Not critizied or bad mouth her. She could help with care of her son, babysitting, washing clothes, anything. No, tell your friend that her mother-in-law should mind her own business if she wasn't helping out. I mean financially and emotionally. If my daughter was in an accident like that, I would put the children's welfare first. That means a healthy parent. Give her a hug from me, and tell her that I will praying for her. Also, give yourself a hug for being such a good friend! God bless you all....

Sounds like a selfish mother-in-law. If she is so mad about him being in a "home", then SHE should pack him up, take him home, and take care of him 24/7. The wife is raising two small children and working full time and trying to maintain some sort of normalcy for her children, give her some credit!!

Well... she's upset because it's her son. She's probably thinking emotionally (oxymoron) and not logically. As long as the wife and kids visit the husband and show him the love and compassion he needs then it's okay. JUST WONDERING : if this guy got hurt so bad at work then how come he isn't getting a crapton of money from that company!?

The way it was with him at home, they both had a poor quality of life. Now at least, she can do something with the time she had to spend on him and the kids also have a better mom.

Well, the M-I-L was obviously not thinking about the wife's needs or well being. If she didn't want him in a home she could've helped out.
