From people who came through it
“In 2023, that was me. Respite once a month. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.”
edwinnorth1979 · been through parenting a child with a disability“Para quien empieza a criar a un hijo con discapacidad: no tienes que hacerlo todo perfecto. Yo todavía me enfado cuando la gente mira, pero he aprendido a rodearme de personas que entienden. Acepta la ayuda que te ofrezcan y busca momentos para ti, aunque sean pequeños. No estás sola.”
Ashie S · been through parenting a child with a disability“I was sure I'd nevre feel normal again. I was wrong. Ask for a double appointment if you can, it changed things for me. Keep going, even slowly.”
Miriy G · been through parenting a child with a disability“I was in the same place this time last year. I remember planning for when we are gone like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.”
