I get this. My son got bullied because I would go to his football games in my wheelchair. He’s turned into quite a young man that I couldn’t be more proud of. You may be surprised at what your kiddos take away from the experience.

He is 22, almost 23 now. He wrote about living with a mom with MG a few years ago for my column, The Whispered Roar. Give it at a gander. It might help settle some angst or guilt.
