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!!

I do not a have a special needs child but am highly involved in my special needs community where I live. I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to!

Hi! I just wanted to say you are heard! Maybe start a “pod” for Mamma s with special needs kiddos? You deserve support and it sounds like you are an incredible Mamma and extremely selfless. You ve got to find ways to pour back into yourself so you can keep giving so much love and support to your family. It needs to be replenished! Please reach out to me or others . 💪🙏🤲🏼💙💕

I just wanna tell you I admire you for your strength and limitless love and care! Be You, we're here for you without any judgement! Open to talk, chat, whatever you need! 🙏
