Today 10th April 2011 is my daughter's 21st birthday.
She has had to grow up early in so many ways, being a young parent herself and also having grown up with her older brother, my son who is the one with ocd.
Her path has been shaped by ocd I feel. She has always had to share my care and attention far more than a younger sibling would who didnt have these needs.
Am I making sense?
She is the most caring, understanding, and supportive daughter a mother could ever wish for.
I love her so very much. We have our moments when we fall out, we cry we shout, but we always make up.
She is the only one who has time of day for OCD. Her older brother ( my son) has it, and she accepts it although she hates it.
He will never be that 'older' brother to her. She takes that 'older' role in protecting and helping him despite being 3yrs younger.
Happy Birthday sweetheart, you mean the world to me, I'm sorry that I havent been able to be there for you as much as I'd have liked.
This is our path, we make the best of it.
