Oh, Mama. I want to hug you so hard. While this isn’t my story, it’s one I can relate to – the learning to let go, the celebrating the wins instead of mourning the losses, the living in the moment instead of fearing for the future. Jesus christian don’t be afraid just have faith flag My daughter has a chronic condition that will impact her entire life, and not allowing myself to mope in that reality, in the black and white thinking of it, is a huge part of my parenting journey. You are not alone, and you are everything your daughter needs. . Being a mum of a child with a disability is backbreaking work but as you said you will learn so much from her. What a gift. She is beautiful. There are so many other parent’s with kids who have exceptional needs who are nodding as they read. People don’t understand the emotional process that goes along with the journey. We get it.

Angie Black. I have been in your shoes. I remember crying at my daughter’s first CSE meeting hearing some of those words. And I am a special education teacher! But when it is your child, It can break your heart. My daughter is now 21, living in her own apartment. Your beautiful daughter looks happy, and determined, I’m sure she gets that from you . I have not had your parenting challenges, but I promise you that you would have “these other thoughts in the back of your head” even if your child did not have the special qualities she has. Feeling inadequate is a parenting universal. You are doing an. I went through this when my son was diagnosed with autism. It was definitely a difficult road and there are times I still miss what I thought it was supposed to be. My son definitely taught me more than I could ever imagine.

Its 100% ok to grieve the child you thought you were going to have. It took me fully grieving that life to appreciate the life I was given instead with a beautiful 13 year old with diagnosis’. . As a mom of a special needs child I love the quote “my dream for Audrey is not “the dream for Audrey.” It’s not easy to get to they point. And I also love you appreciating the fact she is fulfilled. . It’s soooo hard to be a parent of a kiddo who has needs unlike their peers. The feeling of loss is real and the shame of that loss is unbearable. It’s ok to I’m struggling with this, I’m not the parent they need, I’m lost and need help getting to basel. Never read something so close to our journey!! She is 15 now, your description of Audrey is exactly like my girl!! I have let go of the dream I had (took awhile) But I have learnt I am exactly who I need to be for her, though I doesn’t feel enough
