The Disabled Father: the Story of a Father and His Son Andrew Appleton

The Disabled Father takes you deep inside the mind of a struggling father who is challenged with the guilt, pain and incredible responsibility of taking care of his severely disabled son. Marcus, who was born with cerebral palsy, will depend on complete assistance from his parents his entire life. As Marcus's father continues to support a full and productive life he finds that involving Marcus in it presents challenges that more often than not leaves him frustrated and emotionally drained. Further, the knowledge that Marcus's short life expectancy leaves many unanswered questions as to why this could happen. The Disabled Father speaks directly to the parent of a disabled child and passionately reaches out to their need to find understanding and acceptance of a situation that may seem under serving. As a spiritual path this book will leave you with a better understanding of God's work and how he has chosen you to be a parent of a very special child.
