Self-relations of mothers raising adult children with severe intellectual disability constitute a documentation of motherhood diverging from an established role model of a mother and a woman. The narratives show that this group of women struggle with many difficult experiences and emotions related to their own existence. The aim of this paper is to analyse existential experiences of interviewed mothers in terms of reflections on the meaning of life and future, as well as questions such as ‘Why me?’, often asked by the interlocutors. I will make an attempt to identify determinants of these experiences.

The autopsy of mothers raising adult children with profound intellectual disability is a documentation of maternity that varies from the commonly accepted role model of the mother and the role of the woman. Narrative conversations show that this group of women is struggling with many difficult experiences and emotions related to their own existence. The purpose of this article is the analysis of the existential experiences of the examined mothers in the level of reflection and the questions “why me?”, the meaning of life and the future. An attempt will also be made to find determinants conditioning them.

Diana Aksamit, Barbara Marcinkowska, My adult son, my adult daughter – reflec-tions of mothers of children with profound intellectual disabilities. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 26, Poznań 2019. Pp. 255–269. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. e-ISSN 2658-283X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.26.12 Everyone has the right to participate in society, regardless of his or her current personal situation, level of psychosocial functioning or experience. No reason can justify marginalisation or exclusion of people from social life at any stage of their lives. The aim of the article is an attempt to characterise the adulthood of people with profound intellectual disabilities on the basis of subjective assessment of their mothers. The methodology applied was that of a qualitative research, where the main research technique was narrative interviews. The results of the research demonstrate that adulthood is the stage of life when people with profound intellectual disabilities and their caregivers require special support in mental, spiritual, social, societal and educational dimensions.
