I know I'm new, but here's our family situation. I have an AWESOME wife, and love my kids. We have one younger child with special needs who requires a lot of medical care. His legs are constantly in braces and casts from surgeries, and he can't run with his big brother and the neighborhood kids. He sits indoors and memorizes maps and charts, and draws. He has a popular personality, but is physically limited. It's taken a HUGE toll on our finances, and we can barely afford his treatment. We're behind on bills.
The other day we were walking though a store together and I asked him how he was doing. He said, "when I hurt a WHOLE lot, it's a bad day. When I hurt a *little* bit of a lot, it's a good day. So today's a good day."
God damn it. YOU try to not cry in the middle of Target when your little boy says that to you.
Does anyone else have a special-needs child?
