hi well im new so thought id let u all knw a lil bit about me

soo yeh

well my brother has downs syndrome nd for those of u dnt knw its a learning difficulty

it affetcs me in ways the people closest to me cant see....its hard to explain how..its stressful...every time my parents are stressed i get it passed onto me (if tht meks sense) because if they let there stress/anger out on my brother it can cause him to get very angry n have a huuuge temper tantrum... which gets us alll more stressed soo....

I feel very protective as my brother is 2 years older it shud be the other way round yet its  not his mental age is summin like 10 or below i think so im always havin to make sure he dnt wander of or strt talkin to strngers.....

Also i wasnt in so mum had to leave him at home for literally 2mins...he was messin with the fone..accidently he pressed 999....he got through to the call centre nd a woman asked him if there was a fire...my brother not undrstanding thought she meant the one that everyone has in there living rooms so he sed yes....we had fire engines n everything turn up and my brother was distraught thinkin he was goign to be taken to prison....

 I dont knw about ne1 else but i worri bout the future long way of i knw but in the bak of my mind i have this constent worry...i knw ive gt to get a gd education to get a gd job because when my parents have died i have to be able to support me n maybe a family and my brother..

alot of wot we do as a family cn be restricted....i knw im luky in the way i do have a d social life comapred to other in our situations...

yeh thts jst a lil of me lol

so id luv it if u wrote bk about wht u do!!!

n if ne1 luks afta  sum1 in the sme situation!!
