So do I Rachel as a Dad trying to do all the right things, hold down a Job, provide for my girls, take an active caring role etc, etc. My wife gets amazing support from friends. My friends steer clear of all conversation regarding my disabled daughter. Occasionally all I want to hear is hey your doing ok just to calm all my own anxiety and stress about stuff we have to cope with. With no family. I feel I am on an island looking out across an uncharted ocean.
