Am I the only disabled parent in Derby to an ablebodied child?

I have only joined up today.
I'm 39, I'm looking to make friends and see if i can find someone who can relate to my situation.
I walk around with the assistance of a wheelchair outdoors if my legs aren't too painful. I have an 8 year old daughter who is able bodied. I feel very alone with the difficulties and challenges i face

My son was 10 when I became disabled so not only did it change my life but his as well as I could no longer walk or drive and my main concern was that he was missing out on things and also didn't want him to become my carer.
He is my rock and does help me but not to the extent of him not enjoying his life and he is very haopy to do so.
I think children of disabled parents become a lot more caring and helpful in general and accepting of other people may be different
