Hi Nams,
i learned something when i was learning to be a life guard. Sometimes the people you are trying to help...out of fear and desperation...can cause you to drown. The only way to help them is to drag them kicking and screaming and choking you to death under water. Underwater they will panic even more and release you. Saying yes with that child with the brain injury is no different than allowing the child to drown you. One other way to easy the guilt and fear of hurting the mother of the child...perhaps is to take a tiny bit of time to help that family get some support...an agency to help with baby sitting ...etc. That way you can say no Child's name cannot come over but perhaps you might call XXX-XXXX to help you. This way you provide some help without risking your self or your family.
BTW before the child had the brain injury he may have had some Sociopathic symptoms but now the brain injury clouds those problems.
