You have a special needs child and it alters EVERY aspect of your family life. Everything and everyone will make adjustments throughout their lives for that child.
The men are ALWAYS the first to shut down and even leave the woman with the kid. I have seen well over 50 cases. I have seen a bit of life in these not-so-few years on earth. I find it laughable that it is mostly men who are shouting against abortion from a moral high ground that they don’t understand.
I know of a neighbour then in Ikoyi, who yelled at his daughter who kept having crisis from Sickle Cell Disease saying “If you want to die, just die!”.
That’s sickle cell o, not to now talk of down syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc.
Approach these matters with humility o! Be careful!
