Christophers mother never stopped loving him even though he made her life really hard sometimes and she still kept writing to him and never stopped. You havent written to me yet, so I know youre probably still angry with me. Im sorry Christopher. But I still love you.Another way life is challenging for Judy is that she finds that her only son gets on better with his father. As a mother this would be very eye breaking. She always found it difficult when she took him to the shops or the mall because he would end up crouched down on the floor with is hands over his ears and he would be in the way of everyone. If she tried to move him he would just start screaming. Judy didnt believe that she had the patience like Ed to look after Christopher an d then she was having lots of other problems and that is when she decided to leave.Judy is not the only person who is finding life challenging but Ed, Christophers father is also finding life challenging. Life is challenging for Ed because it is hard to raise a child with a disability especially when you are left to look after them all by yourself. Ed and Christophers relationship also struggles when Christopher found out that his own father killed the next door neighbours dog Wellington.
