RHOC’s Meghan King breaks down in tears over three-year-old son Hart’s Cerebral Palsy diagnosis in ‘depressing’ IG post
RHOC’s Meghan King shed a tear in an Instagram post today in which she described the difficulties of raising her son, Hart, who has Cerebral Palsy.
In the photo, Meghan was visibly crying as she sat in the car with the three-year-old behind her.
Opening up with a lengthy caption, the mom-of-three wrote: “I don’t like being defined as a mother of a child with cerebral palsy. In fact, I actively work against it.
“I seldom share with you the challenges Hart faces and instead focus on how great he’s doing while trying to give equal focus to my other two children and myself.
“But the reality is that Hart’s brain injury affects all of our lives daily.”
The Real Housewives alum continued: “Although CP is defined as a motor disability, its symptoms rear their heads in a plethora of other ways.

“Today is the second day in a row that Hart has had to leave school for poor behavior.
“This not only renders me unable to work during that short school window but it leaves me feeling frustrated and helpless for both of us.”
Meghan opened up about the struggles she faces in raising Hart, asking herself: “Is his environment too inconsistent? Is he not getting enough attention?
“How do I balance his needs with the other needs in the household? Is there such a thing as balance? Is there a solution?

“Is happiness achievable or are we bound to a lifetime of rollercoaster behaviors, merry-go-round therapies, and erratic emotions that eat into everyone’s time and energy?
“The unknown is daunting. How do I keep him integrated in normal schooling when he acts violently or disruptive? How?”
Meghan concluded: “Thank you for attending my depressing TED talk.”
FANS RUSH IN
However, the 37-year-old reality star’s fans were quick to respond with positive comments.
One user wrote: “I am always so grateful for your authenticity. I don’t have any answers, but I’m sending you so much love. You’re an amazing mother and woman.”
Another chimed in: “Hang in there sweet momma, we see you.”
A third empathized: “There is certainly no easy answer. As a mom with two of her three kiddos having disabilities, all we can do is give them and us grace. So much grace.”
ROCKY ROAD
Meghan shares Hart, along with his twin brother, Hayes, as well as daughter Aspen, five, with her ex-husband Jim Edmonds.
The couple divorced in 2019 after five years of marriage.
In October 2021, Meghan married Joe Biden’s nephew, lawyer Cuffe Biden Owens.
However, the couple separated just two months later.
Speaking to an insider source said that after the wedding, the couple faced issues “that ultimately put a strain on the marriage," including where to live.
"She wasn’t ready to move her whole life back to California after she spent some time getting settled into Missouri."
According to the source, Meghan “was hoping” Owens would consider moving to St Louis, where her kids and ex Jim are based, but that wasn't the case.
