A pharmacist who gave up her career to support her severely autistic son before enduring a difficult divorce has said “impossible doesn’t exist” after successfully pursuing her lifelong dream to study medicine aged 35.
Dr Ros Jabar, 51, who lives in Cardiff, Wales, worked as a pharmacist from 1997 and said she was the “breadwinner” in her semi-arranged first marriage, earning about £65,000 annually to support her family, including her son Jamil, now 22, who was nonverbal at the time due to his severe autism, and daughter Yasmin, 21.
