The parents of children with special needs are confronted with major changes in their family life, both with regard to the relationship between husbands, as well as to the parent-child relationship and for this efficient relationship and their quality of life not to suffer, it is necessary that each of the parents develops his/her own resources. The parents of such children live with many difficult issues and frequently experience trauma, grief and stress.
