Just Needs: parenting children with disabilities
I’m a parent of a child with disabilities. Yes, I look tired. But let’s talk about why I don’t care.
Parents of kids with disabilities are often the squeaky wheel, the recipients of sideways looks in the store.

I embrace being the frazzled parent because I know I’m showing up for him.
