The first major anthology by parents with disabilities. 'Being a disabled parent is a rebellious act. Disabled people should have the same right to parent as anyone else, but often when we decide to start a family we are met with judgement and discrimination. We are questioned rather than supported. We have to push up against the medical system. And we have to confront society's model of parenting. Yet, despite all this, we still choose to parent. And we are damn good at it too!'When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most like most parents-to-be she felt a mix of nerves and excitement. But as a disabled person, she faced added complexities. She wondered: Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting?In We've Got This, thirty parents who identify as Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent, or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and show that the greatest obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory, and empowering anthology that celebrates the richness of disabled parenting in the twenty-first century. 'Such an important book. Joyous, eye-opening, and deeply moving, these powerful stories will challenge long-held assumptions and hopefully shift societal attitudes towards disabled parents. Everyone should read this.'Francesca Martinez, author of What the **** Is Normal?!

It is about lessons learned about forgiveness, healing hearts, loving myself and never giving up hope. Anyone who may stumble across this book and is struggling with being a caretaker for a loved one please understand trouble doesn't last always and joy definitely will come in the morning. Remember to give yourself a break. Remember self-love is the best love. Once I truly learned how to love myself and get out of my own way in came my blessings. I was blocking my blessings by letting fear hold me back. I was blocking my blessings by holding on to grudges, I was blocking my blessings by not forgiving. How could I expect God to forgive me if I could not find it in my heart to forgive others? I am in a great place in my life right now. I am in the habit of practicing gratitude. I truly believe in Karma and I act accordingly. I no longer live my life with regrets because you cannot change the past and it is a horrible way to live. Regret keeps you bound to the past and impedes your progress.. Im learning how to live in the moment and enjoy doing the things I love to do. I hope to inspire others to overcome any difficulties life may through at you. Trust and believe if this Queensgurl can keep the faith so can you. You don't realize how strong you are until you have to be! Peace, Love and light. Jill Williams is a native New Yorker who currently lives in Northern, Virginia.
