Being different is never easy. There is always the need to want to be accepted and respected for who you are regardless of what makes you different. Achieving this is even more challenging when you are a child facing this situation. When you are the parent or guardian of a child or children with special needs you deal with the dilemma of how to manage your unique set of circumstances.

In “Mommy and Daddy, It's Not Your Fault,” Lisa Weldon discusses the importance of parental advocacy and the need for love and support for both the parents and the child. She delves into the necessity of resilience and perseverance and how to seek comfort and commonality from others in their community.

In this book, Weldon gives the readers an intimate view of how her parents navigated their lives having a child with special needs. It chronicles her life from the onset of the event that changed her childhood and the residual effects it had on her and her family's life. She provides powerful stories and profound advice from her parents that will hopefully inspire those in this community. Her aim is to pull back the curtain and allow you to see these unsung heroes who walk among us every day. The purpose of this book is to let them know that they are seen and they are not alone as they travel on their extraordinary journey.
