Having kids with Disabilities....
Today I got a call telling me I've been hand-picked to do a family leadership program to learn how to better support families. This involves 2 weekends away for this course.
And it's in moments like these that the realisation hits when I try and organise 4 kids with family that they aren't neurotypical and the challenge that I face in these situations.
I had a cry, my son decided to have a meltdown. So I cried some more....
It's in these moments where I feel isolated and alone. But then I get up tomorrow and start again.

Wow! What a privilege to be a part of something like that, and a massive juggling act , especially with four kids! Wishing you all the luck!!! I am sorry that it’s highlighted your feeling of isolation though :) hope you are able to sort through it ♥️
I've sorted their care arrangements just have to double check tomorrow. I feel with all the excitement that happens in my life, it's in these situations that the reality hits of what I face. Which I rarely stop to process, I just keep doing what I need to. It is a massive privilege and I'm so grateful that my name was put forward, it is definitely validating of all the hours I have spent advocating for my kids and supporting others.
It’s definitely isolating. We only have a couple of options for care for my daughter, and if they’re out, we’re out 🙅🏻♀️ Sending you hugs and a huge congrats on your nomination for the course! Well done!
thank you, it's in those moments where reality hits home. And I have some amazing friends but only a couple really understand
