Sometimes what we want is simply not achievable for us and our children. <br /><br />My only suggestion to all parents with children who have disabilities is to have as strong as you can make Plan B which involves money for future care under most trustworthy people for when you are no longer able to help your children. If it's just extra and unneeded, wonderful. A windfall. But if needed it can make all the difference in the world in quality of life for your children<br /><br />I'm still hoping that my child will be self supporting and sufficient. But he s in his 30s and I am getting old. Plan B looms as ever so important. Presume competence, enjoy the awesomeness but prepare for the worst.

After being way too hard on myself for not setting up a dream life for my kid, I started looking around and realizing that no one has a dream life: not me, not my neighbours, not my other kid. So I dropped the concept. I do what I can. My biggest focus is getting my adult child and myself used to having other people care for her so that when the inevitable happens, it won’t be a shock to her system. The rest…if letting it go won’t kill her, then it can be let go.

I wish caring for caregivers were a social norm. <br />Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318174928862120631noreply@blogger.com
