«Our pathology has made us ironic», says Annalisa. Then they talk about their parents. «My father accompanied me in all my initiatives», says my sister Francesca. She had 4 children, 3 of whom had disabilities. «My mother made me believe in myself and she allowed me to make my dreams come true», continues Annalisa.
The most difficult moments
«I met my husband when I started to lose my sight», remembers Francesca.
He doesn’t realize that he couldn’t see, but he falls in love precisely because of her “sweetness”. The most complicated moment? «Being a mother – Annalisa replies -. Because being a point of reference for a child when you have this type of disability is not easy. Then, another difficult moment came after the separation. And that’s when I started having major panic attacks. But today I surpassed them. When you don’t explore the pain well and don’t look inside, it’s difficult to find a solution.”
Son
«When my son told me that he wanted to go and live with his dad to pursue his football dream, it wasn’t easy. I go to Naples to visit him when I can.”
