Read: "I've gotten to a place in my life where I no longer feel sorry for myself for having a kid with special needs. ... I long ago stopped mourning the child Max could have been, and accept Max for who he is. But when I go to events for kids with special needs, I get acutely aware that I am One Of Those Parents with One Of Those Kids." -- Ellen, from the post "I don't enjoy feeling like a 'good cause'" from the blog 5 Minutes for Special Needs
