Wings Clipped by Sydney Graham
What I found was roadblocks at every turn, a lot of blame coming my way, eliminated from discussions, no collaboration and even providers with rude, dismissive behaviours and rarely following privacy laws to make sure I was included where vital. I saw this photo somewhere and it really resonated with the way I was now feeling, completely helpless when my child needed me the most.
I was always at the ready to help, and always on the outside of everything going on. "Wings Clipped" represents the way I was feeling and the helplessness of the time. Painting this was incredibly therapeutic for me and now hangs proudly in our family room.
