Today is a big day for us,our daughter is leaving home and setting off into the big wide world,my other daughter is at uni in Liverpool and will be leaving for scouseland in about a month,leaving me and the mrs alone in the house on our own for the first time in 20 years.
it should be an exciting time but let me explain, my daughter who is moving out is 17 has cerebral palsy, and for the best part of 5 years has been like living with a very naughty and violent 2 year old in the body of a 17 year old,my mrs has been battered from pillar to post for the last 2 years and there was nothing to stop this,we haven't shared a bed for nearly 2 years and don't go out because there is no one who can cope with her,finally we decided she had to leave,but I have the feelings of guilt and of failure,she is going to a place where she will be well looked after and cared for and the people are trained in how to deal with her behaviour,but I cant help feeling we have failed her ,im hoping with the passing of time my feeling will subside and me and the mrs can get on with our own lives, because this has been a living hell for me and her.
just wanted to get this off my chest,cheers.
