Brave Disabled Mothers Share Their Stories | A Special Kind Of Mum | Real Families

Eye-opening story of two brave women who haven't let their disabilities to stop them from becoming great mums, and they are ready to fight the odds to prove everyone else wrong.
Trish was born with a condition that confines her to a wheelchair and cannot really use her arms or legs - as a consequence she has to perform everyday tasks with her mouth. For her this means preparing breakfast for her children, getting them dressed and even changing a nappy with her mouth. If life wasn't busy enough, she is now pregnant with her third child and is planning a home-birth against doctor's advice.
Michelle is a 26-year-old single mum who was born with dwarfism and her energetic two-year-old Treziah is growing fast. She must learn to cope with being a mum to someone who is almost the same size and will soon be bigger than her.

I can't believe Michelle's friends and family don't support her. That's insane to me. And that strangers can be so rude to the other mom. This world is something else. I'm inspired by them both. Michelle mistakenly thinks her height is preventing her from doing things she "should" be able to do, but I had many of the same challenges she has as a "normal" size mother. And I was completely exhausted all the time. I wish she could see she's doing fine.

[@mslulu_desire8900]

This is just sad and ridiculous. How this society can be, it makes me angry and breaks my heart. How dare someone tell you can't or deserve to have a family. You can't discriminate someone because of how they look, how they were born, what color they are, things they can't change. This world needs help seriously, the fact these women are doing so well for themselves and children, much better than I've seen healthy able bodies ppl do, says a lot. Anyone shaming them should take a closer look at themselves in the mirror, God don't like ugly and God is blessing these women.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

She’s doing just fine, but her own awful childhood makes her far more sensitive to any of the normal mistakes and stages of motherhood. I do not blame Michelle’s foster mother, though, because if my teen daughter got pregnant while she was a student, I’d be very upset too. I also know that if she kept the child, she’d almost certainly give up higher learning and lose the opportunity of a good education, good career, and a financially solvent life. I’d also assume she’d be a single parent, since most teen/young adult relationships end. I wouldn’t want that future for my own child, and that’s what Eileen was mourning for Michelle. She never doubted that Michelle would be an excellent parent, just that it hurt her chances for the future. But Michelle’s biological family are awful people for rejecting her repeatedly. What family takes in one sibling but refuses to take the other? They are not good people.

[@meghanhixon3241]

I'm pretty sure Michelle had one for Trey!

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

I thought I’d need one, as I’m a mom of twins and I’m a paraplegic. But my kids were so used to holding on to my wheelchair as they learned to walk that they simply stayed by my side whenever we went out in public. I can only think of one time between the ages of 1-4 that my daughter ran off ahead of me, and that was to greet a little friend at the park. She got into a lot of trouble, though, so she never did it again.

[@amandao.7705]

My mom used one for me because she was afraid she couldn’t keep me safe

[@XLindsLuvsPinkX]

My son is 3 and is autistic. I have one for him so he can walk independently, but not take off. I don’t care what other people think because I’m doing what I need to to make sure he’s safe. He doesn’t have a sense of danger (strangers, traffic), and he just takes off sometimes.

Michelle: I have a suggestion for you. I had a blind friend who did this. She put a heavy wire mesh door on her kitchen. This allowed her to work in the kitchen while her child was in the next room. That way, she could hear him if he got into trouble and he could see her at the same time. In your case, you would be able to see him as well. And, he can't come in and grab hot pots, knives, etc. while you are working in there.

You can do it!! You seem to be a loving man and that’s what children need. I hope you become a dad! ❤️

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Of course you can. You simply need to get up every single day and just do what needs to be done, solving problems as they arise. Flexibility and adaptability are crucial. I’ve been a paraplegic for 40 years, and I’ve been married 30 years. I gave birth to twins naturally, and they’ve grown up healthy and happy and are now successful college students. I work full time, own my own home, drive my adapted vehicles I bought myself. My life is full. It’s been challenging all the time, but I have never once thought I couldn’t handle the responsibility.

These moms face all the same challenges as every other mom. They’ve had their life to adapt to things we may take for granted doing the same things just a bit different. Good for them!

[@jdurao6112]

These amazing women are not disabled, the are differently abled!!

J Durao I think u r totally right and that made my day everyone is different but they are definitely differently abled they do and need different stuff but they r perfect and strong woman

[@TheArmybrat12]

S W they seem to be doing just fine. They might have to do things a bit differently but they still get the same results. Having a disability doesn’t mean your automatically incapable of doing things non disabled people do such as be a parent

[@bayleighc.5843]

I know you think this is a nice comment, but we really hate when people say “differently abled”. We are disabled, and that’s ok. Disabled is not a bad word.

[@TheArmybrat12]

Bayleigh Chappel I disagree. Everyone of my disabled friends and I say we’re differently abled all the time.

[@alessiaagr]

We've evolved as human species and came a long way especially with the help of technology, I think that terms and definitions like "disability" should change too, having different abilities, traits, characteristics, behaviors is what makes are different in the first place. Right before this video I watched a woman imprisoned for 16 years for strangling her 3-months old baby, and she had ALL her limbs working. Yes, we are all differently abled.

[@nononsense5182]

The lady in the wheelchair with her husband are better parents than some I have seen... You guys are just awesome caring for each other and your children, you guys don't worry about people being SO insensitive, the love is there. The lady that is challenged with her height is so patience, Trey is a handful for two parents, you rock . Keep your head UP times can be tough but I have ALL the respect for you, sorry his Dad isn't there for you and Trey. He's missing out🤗 Great stories!! Nothing is more greater than a parent who truly WANTS and love their children in spite of their own physical issues! You bring hope and love to your child( ren)

[@colie6177]

Trish is unstoppable. Wonderful parent. Husbands a loving man

[@penelopeperry8365]

As my sister and I watched this it became truly apparent that Michelle focused on her "disability", whereas Trish focused on her abilities. Trish is truly an inspiration and TED talks should recruit her!

[@inastormydaze2044]

@Lord Tachanka Now that ye mention family support, - I've a funny feeling that I saw this lady in another Documentary with her Parents, and her Parents encouraged her to be as independent as possible and to do things on her own raising the kid(s,) so, surely that must have instilled confidence in her. If I can remember watching it, like I think the Parents still were in the same house but she was raising the kid(s) herself like, do ya know what it was now, it could have been one of the earlier pregnancies, but the Documentary was kinda coming at it from another angle. But can easily see from all this support, - how the other lady with the growing Toddler lacks confidence. But I do hope, that she too, finds the support and encouragement to develop her confidence.

[@raimeyewens7518]

Lord Tachanka I think the same thing. She kept talking about the people around her being negative the whole time. Even her doctor said she should consider her “options” when she was pregnant. Negative comments have probably made her feel so insecure about being a good mother. She would probably have a different outlook had she been around more positive people.

[@dachadoodle7146]

He’s up to the middle of her chin, not the same height. That’s like the difference between 5’1 and 5’9.5”. Also, I definitely wouldn’t be scared because 2 year olds are wayyy weaker than adults. My biceps were flat until I was a teenager, so obviously a 2 year old would be nowhere near that.

The little lady's son just needs to be disciplined, She seems very lonely and tired. I understand because her son is driving her crazy, but he wont learn right from wrong if she doesn't discipline him. He's at a age where he knows he can test her and she won't do anything about it, so he continues to behave really badly. The mom in the wheelchair is amazing.
