A “victim of circumstances or a victor over adversities.” It immediately hit me. Yes, I have a choice.
But, I have to admit that there are days when I feel a victim, trapped in an endless barrage of challenges without any way out. It is like being in a maze where every door I choose leads to a series of doors leading to more rooms where I have to contend with an enemy in each of them.
I have to admit that there are things that I can no longer change in my life such as having four kids, being a stay-at-home mom, and caring for a child with disability. I have to admit that there are things that I can no longer do because of being housebound most days taking care of a sick child.
There are days when I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but there are also days when it’s just dark clouds above my head. There are some days when I ask “Why?” and in other days I find the answers.
I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. But today, I choose to be a victor.
I am glad that you choose to be a victor today. We will never find answers to our questions, but we should not let our circumstances define us. You are stronger than you can possibly think, and writing this message proves it. I coordinate care for a lot of kids with disabilities and the past 4 years have been the most rewarding in my nursing career. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season, just know that you are a strong person and you have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing.

I have so much admiration for the parents who have children with disabilities. A child is a child, and we love them no matter what, but when things get tough that’s when our better parts start to show!

I definitely have days that I feel like this and last year while I was going through postpartum depression I felt like everyone had turned their backs on me and I was a victim of no one wanting to help me out. But the I realized I had a great opportunity to be strong and to make it out on my own and I started doing what I needed to do to get myself back together!
