I do understand what yourself and Incognitas are saying it's just that if someone gets told the same thing over and over you start to believe it I guess.
Anyway, I'll see how well I get on with my boy after a day in London

that sad face is because im sorry for your illness, and can understand it to a certain extent (obviously not on your scale)
i have autoimmunity (which is usually what causes diabetes) and have nerve damage due to one of the many autoimmune diseases that i have, but mine is in my feet and legs.
now i have a better idea as to why you "feel" you might be a bad parent, as i have had times like that also... i think any physically restriced parent does.
but i can categorically say, you are not.
you love your child? you dont abuse your child? i have a feeling im right, or else you wouldnt even be talking about him, let alone taking him out for the day
and do you know what? ppl who put you down, and try to make you feel negativly about yourself, only do so, so usually so they can reflect their own feelings of inadequecy. (in other words, like a bully does)
how on earth can a disabled parent be a bad one? i now know im not. i have seen parents..i'll give you one example....
a girl i knew sharon, she was born with cerebal palsy, both her parents were GP's, you want to know what they did?
they put her up for adoption

because she wasnt perfect, and would have took a little more looking after than the average child, so their lives, and career came first.
then she was attacked, and became pregnant herself, but was unable to keep the baby, as her CP was too severe, she would have dropped him ro something.
it tore her apart, and she was a different girl after they took him away... but she wasn't a bad parent, she loved him... she just couldnt cope.
please, dont listen to any negative comments, only the positive, and let your boy see his dad has a good opinion of himself, it will help to show him how to build confidence too
btw, enjoy your day out with him, and i wanna hear all about it
