Hi,
My son is 6 months old and basically spends 99% of the time asleep and is fed through a tube. We haven't had a diagnosis yet, but it is obviously something serious.
As parents we discussed the issue of if the baby had a disablilty during pregnancy will would abort it due to us having 2 children already and the time taken away from them if all our attention was focused on the disabled child.
But now we are here in that situation, and I feel my life is over.
The children do have limited time with us now because of this.
It's been a nightmare already and I'm dreading the coming years as he gets older.
But also I go through periods where I don't want to be seen with him, and resent him. What sort of dad does that make me.
My mood has changed and I'm just feel the life we had will never be as happy as it once was.
Supposed to be going on holiday to Florida next year, and normally would be very excited about it, but I'm actually not looking forward to that either.
Rich.

Will I ever get over the fact my son is disabled?
