My daughter has just been diagnosed with a form of cerebral palsy that affects her right side. She is 7 months. Since I found out I cry when I go to sleep, I cry when we leave the physiotherapist, I worry about her future and I feel guilty for this even though it wasn’t under my control. I feel rubbish. We live far away from any family and we have some friends but they are not very close. We are thinking of moving back but this big change scares me, on top my husband will need to come here one week a month as he will keep his job here. He isn’t sure this is the best idea as he would feel like he has a double life. Alternatively we remain here, on our own but together. I am worried that our daughter will grow with no family close who can love her unconditionally, who will always be there for her. As you can imagine my husband and I are not in the best mental state for making big decisions but something needs to be done as the contract on the house where we live is expiring.

Opinions welcome.
