Love, Unconditionally: Raising 3 Children With Special Needs

[@piptaezo]

To a lot of people, she doesn’t seem to be doing a great job, but she is at least trying. She seems to be aware of her past mistakes, whether selfish or not, she has not given up on her children and on her responsibility. Give her some credit for that. What she is facing right now is caregiver stress and what she needs is help. Yes, she is harsh on Lucas and everyone here knows children with dyslexia and hyperactivity are not the easiest to care for. She probably needs someone to guide her on how to manage Lucas. Her husband doesn’t seem to be around much to help her out and she only recently employed a FDW to relieve her from some of her household chores. She knows that she is being too harsh on Lucas and she is trying to control it. In fact, she mentioned that she resent herself for being so harsh (CNA article). Pretty sure all of us here has shouted at someone when out emotions run high. Talk is easy. Telling her to control her emotions is easy. But no one here knows how many of us can actually do it. TLDR - what she needs is help, not criticism and judgement.

[@sejal3163]

I agree with you, 100%

[@sharmisthamanimaran6614]

Thank you for this, she rly doesn’t deserve to receive all this hate and it saddens me to see her do so

[@rictstan]

Totally agreed. Same situation but with only 1 autistic child. Many a time I had shouted and spanked (buttock) when I lost control to emotion. I know I need help to contain my harshness. She, with the 3 kids is awesome. Wish her and family well.

A great lady taking care of her own children and standing up to her responsibilities single handedly. In this day and age another mother would have abondoned her children or sent them to a special needs children's home. It's not easy to take care of such children 24×7×365.

[@jingyun4323]

Before I had my son, I could never understand why people who have children that are not "normal", go on to have more children. But since having my son, now I can understand why. I've been greatly humbled by him. He's taught me unconditional love, and that this unconditional love for him/her, is the basis of what gives us hope, that maybe having another child would be able to help him/her. As a mother, we will always try to do what's best for our children. Sometimes it may not always be the easiest or best choice in other people's view. I don't condone what she did, but I do understand. For those who aren't in that position, you will never be able to empathize or feel what another parent is going through if your child is normal. Carer's stress is very real, especially when all the responsibility lies on one person. Instead of criticism, offer help and hope. Don't trample on someone when the already down.

[@RonLarhz]

Just being irresponsible. Narcissistic parents comforting themselves. She already said her porpuse for 3rd child was in hopes for it to provide stem cells to the other 2. Fking perverted. Kids can't choose to be born.

[@kccrafts1]

Bitch what. Just because you have one disability child does not mean they all will be that way.

[@IoaleKelina]

You're a very brave woman and I truly respect you for what you've done for your son. And I totally agree with what you said, my sister has autism but it gives my parents a peace of mind knowing that no matter what, my brother and I will always be there for her. I can't imagine the fear and attachment parents of single children with disabilities feel when they finally have to leave this world.

[@bubblygirlduddett3]

People will never understand until they experience it first hand. I already have full sympathy and empathy to parents or care takers with people or children that has learning disability. We grow up having a cousin who has LD and and it was even strange back then as it wasn't common still compare to this day and age. I also work with them and it's sad on how people stare at you/them when you go to the shops or getting mad/angry when they scream or shout not that they mean to. I have always have a soft heart to them. Also now that my child is also really hyper & has difficulty to focus and learn it can get quite hard and sure I do get angry but it's because it can get overwhelming. Salute to to Su Lin for handling and looking after her children on her own. Motherhood is tough and nobody says that it will be this easy.

[@aletheiathreskeia1844]

@@aravinthsrisivasritharan4098 hmm. too bad. Actually who suffers the most and wins with faith, will be granted a glorious place in His Kingdom. It's the concept. Nothing good originated from the earth because evil has been ruled the world since ages. Adam and Eve brought sin to the earth so earth is cursed forever. That is why there are sufferings, disaster, and pain. The real life is not what we can see with the eyes, but the afterlife where we live forever. What is 1-70 years compared to eternity? For those who believe, they prepare themselves for eternity, so we dont fear suffering and death, because it's all just temporary. Like what is the use of living happily for ourselves and die after a short amount of time. Every human ever lived on earth were forgotten and become ash. But because we believe that this world is not the real deal, we're able to endure
