Would you say your son was in any way responsible for your split from his mother?
How much additional stress did this cause to your relationship? Is there anything you'd do differently? How do you afford all the medical bills? Do you have a rough estimation of how much this has cost you?
Is your child ever curious as to the world around him in the sense that... does he realise he's "different" and ask questions about this? If so, how do you deal with telling a child this?
Does he display an awareness of his life and unhappiness? Or is he basically 'taking every day as it comes'?
And the last one - and probably the worst to ask - is his life expectancy in the 'normal' range? If so have you and your ex-partner had to plan for when either of you become too old?
Apologies for all the questions, my somewhat large group of friends turn to me a lot for advice and they're starting to have children now. I'd like to know somewhat how a person whose lived with this deals with it :/
