"Oh No! Not You Again!" 1st Edition

"Oh No! Not You Again!" 1st Edition,
by Yvonne Crabtree
 
 
Thirty! Who’d have believed it? There was a time when I didn’t think he’d make double figures – or that if he did, I wouldn’t still be around to witness it. He was just like the character ‘Billy Whizz’ in the old ‘Beano’ comics – as fast as I cleared up one scene of devastation, he was creating the next!
 
But time has marched on and we’ve both survived – me to tell the tale and Pete to live it, in his own, inimitable fashion.
 
My first book, ‘For Pete’s Sake’ related the story of the life of our son Peter from his birth and diagnosis of Down’s syndrome to the point at which he moved into sheltered accommodation and was diagnosed with Sensory Integrative Dysfunction.
 
Once Pete moved into his flat, nearly eight years ago, I thought that life would quieten down, which to some extent it has, but life is never dull, even with Pete one-step removed and as ever, he presents us with challenges. In fact, life with Pete could be likened to doing a very complicated jigsaw whilst wearing a blindfold. He didn’t come with an instruction booklet, so we continue to grope our way along, trying our best to guide and support him.
 
So from new girlfriends to new jobs, this is the story of Pete negotiating the way through his twenties – and managing to scrape out at the other end. Perhaps I should have called the book ‘Peter Crabtree: The Cappuccino Years’.
