I wish I'd aborted the son I've spent 47 years caring for

In that instant, my world came crashing down around me.

I’d never had psychological problems before, but I believe that parenting a mentally disabled child could push anyone to the edge
Questions I couldn’t answer raced through my mind: Had I caused his disability? How terrible would his life be? What impact would it have on his brother Andrew, then only two? How on earth would Roy and I cope?

That was the day normal life ended for Roy, Andrew and me.
