When you have a disability life can be very interesting. All of us have a story to share. One of the main purposes for CPC's existence is to allow those with CP to share their own stories with each other. I believe communication is the necessary for someone to understand their CP. CPC has two sections for people to tell their personal stories.

The Vent: The most frustrating part I have found is accepting the things you can and cannot do because of your disability. Most of the stories CPC has received so far deal with dating issues, finding friends, and just their disability in general. The Vent allows you to let out these frustrations.  It is known that good friendships start with similarities with each other.

Success Stories: As you may have guessed, this is the opposite of The Vent. Just as there are frustrating stories to tell, many people also have stories of success to share. I have received stories that are very touching from people and I hope you will share your stories with others.

Please share your stories and frustrations with others. You may help other people who are in the same situation realize they are not alone. You may help yourself. Your name is not required for either of these sections. You may remain completely anonymous.
