The Parents Who Kicked-Out Their Disabled Children | Home Free

What’s it like to say goodbye to your child if you never imagined they’d be able to live independently at all? It's a milestone: the moment a parent drops off their child at University, or helps them move out into their first flat. The offspring leaps down the corridor with glee while their mum or dad scramble around for a tissue and down a large coffee to get over the shock of it.

Part one of this heartwarming but also emotional follows a group of young people with learning disabilities who were all about to leave home for the first time to start a new part of their lives in supported accommodation.

"The Parents Who Loved Their Children So Much They Looked Beyond Their Own Feelings And Helped Them Become Independent" ... Fixed It

[jolo]

"Kicked them out"? Seems like they did the exact opposite and taught them life skills. Its not like Origin to use clickbait. Come on guys, you're better than that.

What caring, loving and unselfish parents. I can understand how hard it would be to let go. You are giving them an amazing gift of independence and learning life skills.

It takes a lot of hard work and courage to let our disabled children leave home. Because we know how unkind and dangerous life can be especially for our vulnerable.

[craftgrrl]

I wish there were more programs like this. I know some people who could benefit from having supportive housing like this.

They didn’t kick them out, they gave them opportunity.

I’m loving Anna and Joe. He keeps buying her rings and she keeps saying yes. How adorable are they, just lovely.

I really wish they had this kind of service here for my son and my daughter.. both my kids are mentally disabled and they are 29 and 25 years of age

I have autism and in 12 days, I’ll be moving into my first apartment with my best friend (my roommate). I’m excited to be moving back to my home state and be with friends again but I’m also nervous and scare since this is the very first time I’m living on my own and away from my parents along with three dogs

[momomba]

this was the purest thing i’ve ever watched. what a wonderful place

[hitomisana]

I love how kind all of them are it's like life never got to them and I hope they stay that way forever

[houseoflords]

Why are there not more programs like this around the world? This is just beautiful to see this. Best of luck and prayers going out to all in this series.

My older cousin had down-syndrom but in our family we never thought he was different, he learned from the beginning he could be whatever he wanted to be and he was, the most important day was for him getting a job and his own flat, i never will forget the proud expression he had as he showed us around his flat! he was our ray of sunshine, always made us laugh and smile and at every family meeting he spurred us on doing crazy things grown up stop doing at some point, it was always a chaotic mess😂but we all are very fond of exactly those memories, saddly he died way to early bc of kidney failure but not a day goes by without someone (family or friends) think or speaks fondly about him.

I think it's great. Parents worry about what is going to happen with their child when they are no longer on this earth. ❤

[heatherking]

I tell yall these mamas are such strong, loving mamas who wants nothing more than their children to just be happy and be able to do the things every one else does but their biggest worry and fear is making sure they are able to be able to survive once they arent here anymore and thats their deepest worry you can see it in their faces when they speak on it.

Whoever made this title should be fired. How about "Exploring Independent Living with Disabilities". They're being given opportunities to thrive in the community, but the title sounds like the parents abandoned them. Incorrect title. Fix it!

[kimjay]

The parents and support workers doing their best to give them the best is so beautiful. Best wishes to all!

[kimmyrobinson]

In love this. I wish there was an apartment for the blind and visually impaired, I'd feel so at home. This is absolutely beautiful.

[feralart]

What a lovely place! I wish there were SO many moer places like this. Would that we could all be as open and loving as these "disabled" people. What lovely parents, and the support people are just the best.

The Title is Beyond MESSED up. These are everyday families doing the next step in their lives and even though the video was a good view of it, the title/thumbnail is beyond VILE and DISGUSTING.
