I am amazed at how you've been tested...and your strength. I think all of us here can attest to the stress an illness/severe disability can do to a marriage...so many times, at the end of the day, there is nothing left to give.

Its tough to find the balance between our children and our own needs/desires...I just re-entered the dating world and its quite awkward for me, because my children do come first, but I also would like to carve out something for myself.

My hope for this group is that we can help and support each other to find the balance in our lives...to find the person that can accept, embrace and celebrate our families.

I can not tell you how happy I am that your son is present with you-defying all the doctors told you...he is a blessing and miracle.
