Mama to a disabled child
I feel so lonely and isolated. Our son is medically complex, has cerebral palsy, and physically disabled. When I’m not working, most of my time is spent either caring for him, taking him to his numerous appointments, or caring for our other child. I have no one, but my husband, to talk to. Family members help, but I often feel like a burden. I feel like I’ve lost a sense of identity and I’m just so burnt out and lonely most of the time.

Hello!! I completely understand you. Growing up my mom’s best friend had a son with similar issues to yours. It was though but certainly having a group of friends to talk and not judge is great! If you ever want to talk I am here :) I live in Florida and FaceTime works messaging whatever you need! You are so strong and you haven’t realized. I pray for you and your son!!
