title: When a parent has epilepsy.
abstract: I have just ended year one of being a parent. Though I have presented many difficulties of being a parent with epilepsy, there are many more joys. The most important thing for nurses to remember is that a person with epilepsy can become a parent, often without difficulty. For others, living with epilepsy will pose special concerns or problems that may complicate the parenting role.
