Thanks Angela. I have found some support among both non special needs moms and special needs moms, but I agree completely that some can be so negative that it can drag me down as well. I encourage you to keep looking though because there are some gems out there that are able to find the joy and blessings in their circumstances. All the best to you!

I have a 4 yr old Trisomy 21 Princess with congenital heart defect & over the last 4 1/2 years surprising & shocking to me my village has consisted of 95% non special needs moms. They have been my rock and given me assurance and advice that helped me through very dark & lonely times. Other special needs moms have mostly been a disappointment in their support. I have felt more depressed & hopeless after conversing with another special needs mom. Interestingly enough the one special needs mom that was the most damaging was mom with a special needs autism blog. GO FIGURE! I actually saw a therapist over it. I have never joined or taken any part in a special needs mom group organization etc because of this experience…I just cannot afford to be dragged down the negative road in the ” we are being realistic”. Those non special needs moms neighbors and friends are THE lifeline of my family. Love this article

This is actually brought a rush of memories to me, as a parent of a specially-abled child, this blog contains a very special message, that I will pass on to her. Thanks a lot for sharing such a beautiful message.

I have a friend who comes over when I’m not here and cleans my house, usually on a day when my special has a Dr apt. I come home to a clean home and most times she won’t admit she was here and never accepts any payment. Its needed.. I don’t get to sleep let alone clean..

How I wish that I had read or better yet, that other parents had read this as we raised our Special Needs child. She will be 40 next week (oh how did that happened?). Believe me, the struggle goes on as she watches her peers get married, have babies and do so many things as she watches from afar! I was a very lonely Special Needs Mom as my child was excluded so often from parties, overnights, outings to the Mall, etc. Her Girl Scout leader told me that she did not belong in the Troop! I hope parents of young Special Needs kids today are finding ways to receive all that you write about in this beautiful article. Please all of you know that you are doing a great job, even though you may have doubts. No one can love your child more or worker harder for him. Give yourself a big pat on the back.

I was always the giver and now sometimes it’s all i can do to get dressed, and get the kids dressed…
And the INCLUDING piece – just this weekend I showed up at a party for a brief appearance With kids. All other kids were at home, but i can’t do that…Awk-ward.
Anyway, great post.
Thanks and love,
Full Spectrum Mama

As a fellow special needs mum, all your suggestions are spot on. I’m usually too overwhelmed to accept any offer of help so making a more specific offer of help would definitely make me more inclined to accept. Thanks for writing and sharing this x
