Disabled living

Well here you are a disabled mom with a youngster whose husband has decided he dosent love you anymore. Hes left you in this house with your  youngster. How will i ever manage alone you wonder. Who will do the gardening who will shovel the snow mow the lawn do house repairs. It can be a very scary situation that seems to have very few easy answers. First really consider finances can u keep this house then consider youur limitations is a house worth exhausting yourself to no end. Sometimes a hard decision must be made, Is this the best place for me to optimize how i raise my kids. Disabled or not there are enough stresses on everday demands of single mom but if you physically or mentally struggle as well the cost of the extra stress to you and your children can be devistating. Dont stay cause you think you have to make a list of the choirs you do and how you do them. How many more are added now will weather affect if your able to do them or not like taking kids to school shovelling. If you decide to stay make a plan of action with your kids for each one. Talk to school neighbours friends find a support person even if only as a back up for bad days.
Talk to your kids there great at finding solution that you both feel comfortable with. Ask other parents
if say your kids could walk together do homework together even take turns babysitting. Depending on the age of the kids they can be amazingly supportive. Learn not to judge yourself dont overwork yourself the kids will suffer a messy house is not a disaster and  it has absolutely no reflection as you as a parent or pesron. As for the house call your local CCAC there are lots of geared to income services for repairs lawns etc. If you have teenage kids or neighbours offer them a few bucks to mow or shovel. Try to think of all the worst case scenarios and put a plan in place it will ease your mind. Have confidence you can do this never let anyone tell you  disability makes you an un aualified parent.

Disabled mothers face many barriers to their parenting.These include lack of access to affordable and accessible housing and transportation; supports and services that will enable women to maintain custody and access to her children; adaptive equipment to support the unique needs of her family; and entry into shelters when they are fleeing violence. Unortunately when a disabled mom reaches our for help it is seen as though she is failing in one way or another especially to that mom. Our children are our lives and its very hard to ask for help but we do it because we know its a necessary task that needs to be done in order to do the absolute best for our children.The difficulty for many mothers is in how to negotiate the process while maintaining dignity and custody of children. Often those who can grant access to services do not consider that with supports in place, a disabled woman can parent her children and manage her household and instead choose to place custody of children into able-bodied partners, even those with a history of abuse and violence, over the mother. What is required is to assess the situation and take each issue individually and search for the answer beginning with the  home environment based a each persons individual requirements. For a mom in a wheelchair there are lower cribs, long light switches a wide variety of lifts ceiling as well. There are catalogues full of bathing equipment down to long handled toenail clippers all that is needed  is to find what works for each situation. The most helpful and important thing is to establish friends and family as your support system. In my case its friends and even people i know. Ask the school too they can be a very helpful resource such as hooking you up with other parents who can help. My sons school helped me find a parent to take my son to school in the winter months.
