Being a parent of a child with disabilities, sad to say have caused a strain on my marriage. My husband left us and never ever cared for our two children. On the other hand, I believe that couples can protect their marriage; they must understand that they are entitled to a decent marriage, no matter how many needs their children have. Maybe i's just that I was married to a very irresponsible and inconsiderate man. However, that didn't stopped me to give all the love and attention that my children needs.
