Warrior Mums by Michelle Daly
One of the benefits of social media is getting to meet the parents of special needs children and adults. I have grown to know and truly admire these brave people. Our solitary journeys have taken many different roads, yet we've all connected on sites like Facebook, Twitter, and other forums. The support we give each other is a lifeline-an opportunity to not only share the joys our sons and daughters bring into our lives, but also the chance to rant about the frequent injustices we meet head on. I am honoured to have 'met' so many fantastic Warrior Mums from around the world, so honoured that I decided to feature some of their stories in a blog series, which I have now reproduced in this book. These mums will inspire you, just like they have me, these brave women who share their stories from childhood to motherhood and reveal far more than they normally would, in the hope their stories will help others.
Michelle Daly was kicked out of school at age fifteen with a reference stating, Michelle thinks life is one big joke. She went on to work with children in residential care and in 1972 at nineteen, became the youngest single woman in Britain to obtain legal guardianship of a child; Marie, a seven year-old with mental and physical disabilities. In 1990 they moved to Ireland, a country she refers to as her second home, where she home-schooled her two children, Patrick and Anna. Michelle is an advocate for children's rights and people with special needs. She lives with Marie in Liverpool.
