The first major anthology by parents with disabilities. 'Being a
disabled parent is a rebellious act. Disabled people should have
the same right to parent as anyone else, but often when we decide
to start a family we are met with judgement and discrimination. We
are questioned rather than supported. We have to push up against
the medical system. And we have to confront society's model of
parenting. Yet, despite all this, we still choose to parent. And we
are damn good at it too!' When writer and musician Eliza Hull was
pregnant with her first child, like most like most parents-to-be
she felt a mix of nerves and excitement. But as a disabled person,
she faced added complexities. She wondered: Will the pregnancy be
too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of
parenting? In We've Got This, thirty parents who identify as Deaf,
disabled, neurodiverse, or chronically ill discuss the highs and
lows of their parenting journeys and show that the greatest
obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving,
revelatory, and empowering anthology that celebrates the richness
of disabled parenting in the twenty-first century. 'Such an
important book. Joyous, eye-opening, and deeply moving, these
powerful stories will challenge long-held assumptions and hopefully
shift societal attitudes towards disabled parents. Everyone should
read this.' Francesca Martinez, author of What the **** Is Normal?!
