Our FASD Stories

At MOFAS families are the inspiration behind what we do each day. The stories of families living with FASD motivate us just as they motivate, teach and inspire other families, health care and education professionals, legislators, law enforcement and judicial workers, and other members of our communities.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders are often called “the invisible disability”. If you would like to add your family to our visible network of families living with FASD, please consider posting your story here. You must be a registered MOFAS Virtual Family Center member to submit a story.

“FASD has caused me a lot sleepless nights. It makes me feel frustrated, overwhelmed and worn out. I have felt the full spectrum of emotions - from great excitement over little victories to utterly deep depression over my son’s and mine failures. It is gut wrenching, painful and emotionally draining. The result has been broken trust, lying, stealing, destroyed property and sabotaged relationships.

But the education I have received at MOFAS has been very encouraging. It helps to diffuse the anger. Hopefully I will be able to use what I have learned at the Family Seminar Series to help my son, Josh.”
