When there is a child with special needs in your family, it can be easy to overlook your own needs, desires, and dreams, or those of the ones you love. Long-awaited and much-needed, this book addresses the real-life impact a special needs child has on family relationships. Author Nick Martin gives well-researched and heartfelt advice on avoiding the 'blame game', finding support and guidance for all family members, managing financial challenges, improving communication, sharing responsibilities, being intimate, and more. Stories and testimonies from real couples further validate Nick's sound advice. Taking the time to repair and strengthen your family's relationships will benefit all involved.
