No one ever said that having kids would be easy nor did they tell just how much of your insanity you'd actually lose along the way. Trying to navigate parenthood is a learning process and one that doesn't end even after your children move out. I have learnt many things in my life, some of them helpful whilst others were just plain useless and had me thinking about what the hell I would do with the information I had just been given. Being a parent is hard but being the parent of a child with special needs is several times more exhausting by any means. Learning to cope with the fact that your child needs extra care and attention is sometimes a hard thing for any parent to accept.
