Aren’t You Sugar Coating it?

This blog is based on Michael’s journals. They have a positive focus, which I encouraged, but which is also true to Michael’s nature.  He is a positive, happy person at his core.

Also, I am sharing our family’s story with you.  I wouldn’t be a respectful mom if I shared every bad day, experience, decision that Michael made. I am not sharing every intimate detail with you because I wouldn’t have wanted my mom to do that to me, even in the name of helping other people have an easier journey.

My hope is that once our community is thriving, readers can submit questions which I can address and/or throw out to the group to address. I can do this without revealing their name or their child’s name so they can crowd-source some advice and support without putting their child in the public eye.

Finally, your days are going to be hard. Parenting a special needs child is not an easy path. So, our purpose here is to uplift. We want to offer each other support, encouragement and solid ideas that can actually help our kids. To do that, we need to work together to keep things positive. We are all at different stages of our parenting and we could all use a little help.  Let’s build each other up to be the best support for our own kids.
