I am not talking about legal rights. That is a whole 'nother post that would take days. I'll get to that, but for today here is a list of rights you have as a parent of a child with special needs.
You have the right:
- to feel angry
- to seek another opinion
- to privacy
- to keep trying
- to set limits
- to just be a parent
- to be unenthusiastic
- to time off
- to be the expert in charge
- to dignity
- to hear the truth
You don't have to be a super-parent, you don't have to live your child's special needs every minute of every day. I bet that you are better at doing all the things you've been told you need to do than you could imagine. It just doesn't seem as effortful when it is a habit.
