About my books
When I was 11 I wrote how I felt about living with Daddy in a sort of diary, I guess I thought that my family was the only one in the world that had a physically and mentally disabled person in it.
Then I wrote another diary about life with Daddy when I was fifteen. The second book trys to explain why my dad does things that can seem odd or how I see them.
Both my parents are physically disabled and they find it hard to cope with; but Daddy also suffers with severe PTSD and depression. The one thing that I have learnt is we shouldn't be embarrassed about having a disabled person in our family we should remember that these people are special and were given to special people to take care of them.
If someone is horrible to you because of your mum, dad, brother or sister, just walk away and think to yourself that those people are obviously not good enough to be trusted to look after someone who needs a little bit of help and support.
