My youngest DD has a lifelong genetic condition which means she will never be able to live independently and will always need organised and looked after as she has a learning disability and is vulnerable.
I'm not a young Mum.
I try not to think about the future too much but I feel the weight of it all the same.
At the moment she's young, she goes to school so I get a break while she is there and am fairly well supported by the system.
But I dread her adulthood. We live rurally and the nearest city/town is over an hour away, nearest village with buses etc is 20 minutes.
I just don't know how I am going to cope, there will be no respite.
Is there anyone with adult DC's in a similar situation that can advise me on how to cope?
