'I'll have to stop being the chairperson of the parent forum, too....But I am ready to go. I want a new chapter in my life to start. I have been stuck for too long....Having a child with a disability has made me passive, has kept me at home, has delayed my own development. Moving on might just be the way to set myself free.'
