As a SN mum do you issolate your self from others, and not let them in

[Nowhere]

Hey

Spin of from other thread (there is alot of that lately lol )

The other thread was about being a friend of a mum whos child has SN would you stop being friends with them every one said no :smiliedance:

But is got me to thinking do someimes us mums of SN kids issolate our selfs and push others away, Do we make people feel they wouldnt understand KWIM


Does some of the sergregation fall on the side of the mums and dads to SN kids.

I know I often post on here about things that happen in our day and am get lovely replies about how amazing us SN mums are etc, But really we are not we are just the same as all other mums.

So what are you thoughts do you think that SN mums sometimes push others away and wont let them understand, or as a SN mum do you find you push others away and dont let them in.

I know I for one stay out of SN groups etc cause I like DD to have a mix of friends and I dot like to sit and talk about my DDs illness all the time KWIM.


So thoughts please

I really am not sure.



DS has special needs but i hope in the long run he meets people who accept him for who he is. I am planning on home schooling to get him the best start in life. :)

I dont have a SN child but i can see what your talking about.

As I said in the other thread, I think some ppl may feel intimidated to ASK questions about SN kids out of fear of not understanding and the SN parent feeling "different"

I for one would hope that asking questions with a SN mother would help me undersnt there childs needs and wants better.

In saying that I could also see what SN parents would isolate themselfs out of frustration orbeing like the odd one out. There can be some cruel ppl in this world but if My friends had SN kids i would do everything i could to inform myself so that i didnt make assumptions and was able to support my friend in theups and downs that happen with all parents.
