My STBX has attempted to come to our son, Lucas' speech therapy appointments without speaking with me first. There are some days that the speech therapist isn't there, vacation time or other situations occur where our appointments will either be canceled or rescheduled.

One year has gone by since my life has changed dramatically. Last year at this time I was standing in my local ER praying to God my seven month old son would survive.

I was clueless, convinced it had to be genetic, whatever may be going on. The babysitter had nothing helpful to diagnose his symptoms.

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......
