My "child" in now in her 20s, on a night ventilator, and even if I chose to have her go into a group home (I have not!), there are none that would take her due to her medical needs. As difficult this subject is for parents of special needs children, it becomes heart wrenching for those of us who are becoming senior citizens and are aging as well. I wish there were more resources for these adults as they get older, but at this time,there are not. I love my daughter more than life itself and want her to be treated with the love and respect she so deserves.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972125005000627933.post-25150430640335993922013-09-16T11:55:59.909-07:002013-09-16T11:55:59.909-07:00God bless your sisters and family.

I put in my will that she is not to go into a group home. ive heard story after story of sexual abuse occuring in those homes. my daughter is nonverbal and although shes 9yrs old she is at a 1yr level. my old hope is her sister. I hate to put that responsibility on her but its realistically all I have. my childrens father left me while I was pregnant and hasnt been found by CSE. I wouldnt want his family around her anyway. my parents are pushing 80 and my 2 sisters are much older than me. this topic use to keep me up at night and is bringing me to tears as I type. Gia is 100% dependant. nobody is going to do what I do for her. Her sister will im sure. I hope. I pray. <br />As morbid and horrifying as this sounds I hope I outlive Gia. the thought of anyone neglecting or abusing her is to much to handle. she is the most beautiful, loving, adoring, trusting child and if im not here to protect that innocence who will?kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739200163723559956noreply@blogger.com
