Series: Solo Parenting

Solo parenting is hard. Solo parenting a special needs child can feel like surviving a storm-without a shelter. This compassionate, conversational guide walks alongside you, offering real tools, research-based strategies, expert insights from voices like Robin Wickens, and both lived and fictional stories to help you reclaim hope and resilience.

Within these pages, you'll find:

Chapters devoted to self-care, community building, advocacy without burnout, coping with co-parenting complexity, and tough moments when the system fails you. Respite tips and structural supports, plus uplifting strategies for managing resets and rebuilding after overwhelm. Complete tools and scripts-letters, templates, conversation starters, and communication boundaries that preserve your energy. Personal breakthroughs and validation, reminding you that ""you are not broken. The system is.""

Heartfelt, empowering, and practical, this guide isn't about perfection-it's about surviving and thriving. Whether you're at a low point or simply seeking community, this book gently affirms: you are not alone, you are doing enough, and there is a way forward-together.
