Parenting can be laden with the guilt of not being able to give our kids a picture perfect life. As a disabled parent with limited energy, financial resources, and/or mobility this guilt can be compounded. Studies have shown, however, that children raised by parents with disabilities can actually gain valuable life skills beyond those of their peers. In this episode, Bonni discusses the various benefits to children being raised by a chronically ill or disabled parent.
