Parenting with a facial disfigurement
Does it keep you up at night? Do you fret about your child fitting in because of your face? Do you feel your child is bullied because of the way you look, or could potentially be?
Do you feel:
• Alone
• Frustrated
• Worried
• Concerned about your child not fitting in?
• Do you have family members saying things like: "It won't happen." "That is not happening," and insinuating "it's all in your head?"
SPECIFIC ISSUES/CHALLENGES
• Bullying
• Isolation/avoidance
- You as a parent isolated/avoided from other parents
- Your child being isolated/avoided because of your appearance
• Difficulty in making friends with parents
• Difficulty in your child making friends with other children in their class
• Difficulty being able to voice this issue as it isn’t ‘seen’ but certainly felt by us.
