Father's love too...

My wife and I are parents to handicapped twins.

I have been on constant medication against panic attacks for years.

My wife is medicated for depression and has suffered serious heart problems they say are due to the constant stress.

Respite is not available here, so we just have to plod on day after day after day, often fighting beaurocracy in many forms that the state demands. Also fighting an education system that pretends to care but doesn't deliver at all.

Our only ally is their Paeds Consulant who has steered us towards medical and psychaitric help for the twins. Until budget constraints limit help once again.

Carers are people too.
