Hey, I have recently joined to find some other people who have children or a child wth a disability. My son has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and is a twin but his sister is fine just has delayed development as they were 29weeks. My friends either feel sorry for me or brush off my sons needs and don't really make an effort except for a few who are my support system however they will never truely understand how it feels to have a disabled child and the emotional rollercoaster your life becomes. Would love to meet other mums and children
look forward to chatting

Totally understand your situation. I'm also first time mum and my baby girl has CP. She wasn't breathing when born. And nobody will ever feel what you feel as parent to disable child but we have to face it and work towards making them independent in their lives. I have also been looking to talk to parents in similar situation. I'm happy to talk or meet if you like to. Please PM me. xx
You have come to the right place to start, Scope online community has thousands of members so you will definitely find someone who understands
You may also want to look up Contact A Family, a national organisation who can bring families together to provide peer support, may be worth taking a look and seeing what's available in your area
