I'm sorry you're going through this Renee. When I was in high school my best friend found a cat and I begged my parents to adopt this cat and they did. It seemed obvious to us that she had been abused as well. As she's gotten older, she has more and more accidents around the house... even on the couch and bags and that sort of thing. My parents did start putting her outside and she seemed to do well for a while... she was maybe 3 or 4 years old when they started that, but it didn't solve the problem. It does help, but doesn't fix it.
I know there was no advice in there, but just wanted you to know that you're not alone in this situation. There doesn't seem to be a right or wrong answer. You don't want to end their life, but you also don't want them living in pain. I would definitely talk to your vet and ask what he/she thinks as far as the future goes. In the meantime, I liked the idea of maybe putting another litter box elsewhere in case it's a "not making it in time" issue... and of course keeping bedroom doors shut.
