I am now hosting a Guest Post series on my blog called:
Special Needs Sibling Saturdays
Here is the I post where I announced the series,
laying out the whys and the whats:
Coming Soon: Special Needs Sibling Saturdays
That's the long version. The condensed version is this:
"That my children mostly do not get along, that it is so hard for us to function as a cohesive family unit? Is probably the single most consistent source of pain in my life.
So that's what I'm hosting a guest series about. Not what I do best, but what I do worst. Because that's what I need to hear other voices about.
I want to know how others do it, and how others don't do it."
Many wonderful bloggers generously accepted my request to write a post for this series, to open up about the struggles and triumphs in their families. I thank them from my whole heart.
