How to help Daughter

I feel my daughter isn't coping well. Her 8yr old son has cerebral Palsy and she is great with him but she is very low, her partner isn't any help and she seems to be resenting her son's disability as it is stopping her from doing things. She has 2 other children

Thanks for your post. I'm sorry to read that your daughter is going through a tough time at the moment. How do you feel she is not coping?
I am going to include a link here to the Parent and Carer section of the Community

Also, the charity MIND has some excellent tips

Is your daughter in contact with any local groups at all?
I hope that helps a little. Keep in touch.

I try my best to get through to her but as I don't have any experience of dealing with a disabled child I'm not sure how to help and I back off when I see her getting upset.
