Anniversaries can immerse us in a mix of tough and joyful emotions and memories, many of them steeped in our experiences with our special needs children. In this episode, I open up about some challenges I experienced this week, that were sparked when I celebrated my birthday. I talk a bit about my inner struggle to juggle the pressure to present a pretense to the world and the need to be honest about what I was actually feeling. It is my hope that this episode will provide some acknowledgement and hold space for a special needs parent who might feel the same way right now.
