    For those who have medical conditions or are struggling in life right now, I hope your life becomes better and cheer up! Remember this “our life is like a piano, the white keys are happiness,the black keys are sadness, and we learn overtime that we need both keys to play music”

    I think she is a brave woman to be so honest about how difficult things are for her. As mom's we try so hard to pretend everything is fine, we can handle everything, everything is FINE 🤣 and it's not. It's hard with kids who don't have special needs, having kids with multiple needs is exhausting and so much work, they really do need support.

    My heart breaks for this poor woman and her beautiful boys. She is doing her very best to give her boys a good life with little support it seems. Raising children is exhausting at the best of times so the extra needs must be overwhelming at times. You can see she loves her boys a lot. Her commitment to her children is obvious and you can’t fault her for losing her temper at times - she is human and having to deal with these challenges 24/7. She is very brave to share her struggles and the reality of what her life is like. If you have never experienced it then you can’t appreciate how hard it can be physically and emotionally. I’m glad she got some extra help - it’s important to acknowledge if you are struggling to cope and to not be afraid to reach out for help.

    很棒的妈咪。也很棒的爸爸和孩子。想告诉妈妈,你已经给了你这些可爱的孩子远超过一般父母能给予的。你们细心的照顾和陪伴胜过带他们出国旅游。孩子长大后他们会懂,会谅解。祝福你们一家大小幸福美满!加油!

    Mom, you are doing too much for these kids. I understand you feel profoundly guilty for the bad genetic and all the health issues. Yes, it’s a day to day combat. But you kids are enough old to understand and have responsibilities. You are doing EVERYTHING...brushing their teeth and puting their cloth on at their age? My son is on the spectrum of autistic as well, and i try to push him do his duties everyday. They need more practice than every other kids to be autonomous. Don’t gives up. When i see them playing so energetic; it’s simply beautiful.
