Fathers of disabled children can feel overlooked when the focus of much parenting support is aimed at mothers. Different Dads is a collection of inspiring personal testimonies written by fathers of children with a disability who reflect on their own experiences and offer advice to others on the challenges of raising a child with a disability.
My Dad is Different
My Dad Is Different is a story seen from the eyes of a child. Author Wendy Desmet tells the story of how her son, Josh, knows there is something different about his Dad. Dealing with a disabled parent is a challenging part of a child’s life. Accepting their parents and others with disabilities will make children empathetic and wellrounded in their future. Author Wendy Desmet lives with her husband, Michael, and son, Josh, in Yorkshire, England. Her husband is disabled and wheelchair bound. When Josh was born, the question around Michael’s disability would eventually be brought up. This is when Wendy wrote My Dad Is Different, to help Josh understand his Dad’s disability.
