So often I hear this statement from people, here is my take..... God only gives you what you can handle. What if I cant handle it, what if Im trying to tell you that I need help, what if Im falling apart or I know that something has to give because Im just not keeping it together anymore? And what if before Im able to share my grief and anguish with you, you tell me that God didnt give me more than I can handle. But he did, and I know that I have more than I can handle, and I am trying to reach out for help. This comment just squarely shut me down. Remember, if it takes a village to raise a typical child, it takes a large city to raise a special needs child. What if I dont believe God intended me to have to handle all this tough stuff on my own. Furthermore, I have a hard time believing that God chose me and said, hey, she can handle a whole lot of hard stuff, so I think I will give her a whole lot of extra stuff to deal with, and in the process, Ill cause her son to have medical problems and two neurological disabilities. I cant at all claim to know how children are chosen to have extra challenges, but I dont think you can either. I prefer to believe that God helps me handle whatever challenges are in my path to handle..
