I had one alternative solution that I was going to try so I could keep her (hire an assistant and let her nap in the basement), but now that I type it up, it sounds kind of insane. I don't want to do it, but I suppose I'll have to face up to terming the contract. I feel so much more at peace today without them here. 
lol yes the basement thing does sound insane...
It does sound like you are to the point of terming.....I think that jen offered you a great letter... I would never hire an assistant to keep a probelm child. and would only fire an assistant if it were profitable. Or necessary for backup care.
