Ever wondered what it’s like to raise a profoundly disabled child? How we communicate with our angel with crooked wings if he or she can’t speak? How our other children cope? In what way it affects our relationships with our partner or family we originated from?
We parents in this situation wonder what life will be like when they grow up – for them and for us.
If you weren’t someone who would speak up you will be a roaring advocate by the time he or she has become a young adult. If you waited around for someone else to take the lead in adverse situations you’ll be an astounding leader of others in a few short years. Your own family will become a tightly knit unit and your kids will become so attuned to others around them that they become almost physic in understanding the motivation and needs of others without a single word uttered. You will become a personality that amazes the previous you – as will all of your children.
From my daughter’s birth to the age of 21, this book will take you on our journey of self-discovery, love, laughter and the immense pride we have in being a parent or sibling to a child who is ‘different’.
