Parenting doesnât always look the way we imagined it would.
When we first hold our children, we picture a future filled with possibility. But for many parents of neurodivergent children, that imagined future shifts. And with that shift can come emotions we rarely talk about openly: grief, guilt, confusion, love, and fierce protection.
In this deeply honest blog, Sarah Cosway, Psychotherapist at Laura Greenwood Therapy, shares her personal journey of parenting a neurodivergent child. She writes about the silent grief many parents experience, the reality of meltdowns and overwhelm, and the powerful process of learning to accept and celebrate the child you were given.
It is raw, compassionate, and incredibly important reading for parents who may feel alone in their experience.
Parenting is not about fixing or changing our children.
It is about learning to love beyond the expectations we once held.
If you are parenting a neurodivergent child, supporting someone who is, or simply want to better understand the emotional journey many families walk, this piece is for you.
