The present study investigated the emotions, the daily life of the parents of children with physical disabilities, the effects that exist in the relationship of the couple as well as the importance of social support from professionals and from the wider family and friendly environment. The results of the research indicated that the need to provide social support to the families of children with disabilities is vital and is strongly highlighted by the qualitative research conducted in 36 families of children with physical disabilities. The need for social support of families with children with disabilities is more intense in the initial phase, when the child with disabilities is born, but also throughout of family life as well as in the particularity of upbringing, education, socialization of their child. Adequate family social support has positive effects on both family members (father, mother, siblings) and the child with a disability. Also, social support improves the ability of parents with children with special needs, develops their social skills and is related to the better functioning and well-being of the family. Aggravating factors that affect the emotions and daily life of the parents are the socio-economic life of the parents, the long-term care of the child and the quality of the marital relationship.
