What were the advantages or disadvantages in regards to your impairment at home? Were you treated any differently than your siblings? Were your parents encouraging?

[Nadia]

I'm the only child of my parents and you already know how my life is at home. It's been hell ever since I can remember.

I had one older sister but she has the same visual impairment as I do so I can't say we were treated any differently. It kinda evened the playing feild in a way. As for my parents I've always had their support no matter what. They helped me handle any problems I may have had at school. My mom never seemed to have a problem with my impairment. She seemed to like that I was different. But it's still nothing I'd wish on my own child.
