What does it matter what other people think? You are living proof that you can raise your 3 girls with a disbility. Why let these people get the better of you. Move on with your life. You and you alone know that you can do it and you have made your life and your girls life with the obstacles that you have overcome in doing so. Congrats to you.

I know what it is like to live with a disability. I have been living for over 2 years with a back injury and things are very trying for me even the similist of things.

Good for you! Having a disability does not make you less of a person. With the proper attitude, which you have, it just makes you a braver, more determined person to prove that you are more than capable of living your everyday life like anyone else. It's obvious that your disability has not become your disability. Keep it up and don't listen to the critics.

I have cerebral palsy (which is a mobility impairment; it also affects my speech- meaning I slur and mumble at times, more so if I'm tired). I'm unmarried and get 16 hours of personal care to deal with things I need (bathing, bathroom, house cleaning). I truly hope to parent someday. I don't think my disability will influence my parenting (much), as most long term parenting is mental anyway, in my opinion.

It's possible of a parent like you to raise kids...It's a matter of how you handle and take your condition. Just ignore them and prove of them that they are wrong! Proud of yourself and i am sure your kids proud of you too.
