Surrealist tellings of the different sides of caring for children with disability it seems. There’s a lot to unpack within this narrative that I’m currently attempting to grasp but I feel like the conversations, actions, and reactions of the characters hold very real weight in regards to the experiences of families in the greater world struggling with mental and physical health while caring for a child that needs extra help as well. Enablement versus embracing is something I’ve personally taken away from this as well
