Parental Guilt. We all know it, we are all aware of it. When you have a physical disability you will have encountered it from time to time.
I was diagnosed with CP the day before my first birthday – an infection in hospital after I was born etc., etc. I think it affected my parents’ life just as dramatically, if not more so – emotionally. They had aspirations that turned out very differently, whereas for me this is the only life I’ve ever known. I’ve never expected a different outcome. It was more of a shock to them than it ever was for me.
