Ok, how to start this? Well I suppose I had better tell you who I am, My name is Sarah, I am a 28 year old Mum of 3. I have had to deal with alot in my life and this blog is about struggling to overcome adversity. I will hopefully along the way find solutions to my problems and then by talking about it help others too.
I am not saying my struggles are over because they have infact culminated so much that I do feel a waivering in my strength. I know I can look back at worse times, maybe financially or emotionally I was worse off then but never have I had so much at once to deal with.
I will tell you about me now, then perhaps go back to the beginning. As I said I have 3 children, all boys. There is Nathan, my loveable monkey, who is 10 years old and just about to start his last year in Primary school (boo hoo ). Connor, my sweet sensitive boy,is my middle son he is 8 years old. Connor has learning difficulties, he struggles with his memory, reading, writing, social skills and speech. Then there is Dillan, my precious sweetheart, he is 4 1/2 years old. Dillan has an as yet undiagnosed genetic condition, at the moment he is undergoing tests for DNA repair disorders. He has Microcephaly ( which means small head/ brain), Short stature, Global Developmental Delay, Enamel Hypoplasia and a whole load of other symtoms/issues. I will tell you all about that another time.
I have been married for 11 years, my long suffering husband Shane is my rock. Sadly 11 years ago when we had only just got together Shane had a motorbike accident and became permenantly disabled. He lost the use of his dominant hand and arm, his life was changed forever.
So that is me now, married with 3 boys. Mum, Carer and Advocate.
