Hijacked by Parenthood | S2 | E3

Rachel talks to Lucy and Sarah about how being the parents of people with complex needs has taken over – well ... everything. How we have changed and transitioned through seasons of our life and our child’s life. We cover; 

• The emotional phases we go through – rage, resignation and resolve. 
• Deputyship and power of attorney – who needs it and why? 
• Realising there isn’t such a thing as ‘it’ll be easier when...’ 
• How none of us is Mother Teresa incarnate. 
• One of our biggest roles as parents is to enable our children to have fun and feel safe without us. 

We talk about how we might try and shift the idea of motherhood being at its best when we are frantically doing everything for our children, to one where we celebrate and share stories of our children loving life without us. #FunWithoutMum
