Bycie razem – w cieniu głębokiej niepełnosprawności intelektualnej dorosłej córki, dorosłego syna
Being together – in the shadow of a deep intellectual disability of an adult daughter, an adult son

Summary/Abstract: Reality in which women raising adults with profound intellectual disabilities function for years is the world hidden in their family homes, in the “four walls”. It is a reality about which there are many truths in the social opinion, especially in media messages. It is a reality marked by suffering. And here the case seems to be closed, and mother stays alone with her adult son or daughter with profound intellectual disability. Motherhood to an adult person with one of the most severe forms of disability is a motherhood that varies from the generally accepted model of motherhood, which is in a way related to “being together” with her own child. The article will attempt to show the everyday reality characterized by “being together” of a mother and an adult daughter, a son with a profound intellectual disability.
