And who would the rapist be, Kay or the male figure here?
If both are suffereing from the same ailment, I don’t see why Kay would be the innocent one. Do you?
I believe the toughest choice Sandra and the family of Kay had to make, was institutionalizing their family member. I would suspect both families are happy their loved ones have found a comfort that replaces the fatalistic nightmare each faced alone. And yes, when you’re institutionalized in those places for a majority of the time you’re just that, very very alone, isolated and cut off from all that came before.
It’s too bad Sandra Day-O’Connor couldn’t afford to hire a nurse to provide in-home care.
