202: All the Ways Our Marriages are Impacted by Disability Parenting


Listen Later

When your days revolve around medical routines, sleepless nights, and endless caregiving, marriage can start to feel more like project management than partnership.

In this episode, Madeline and Alyssa unpack all the ways that marriage is impacted amidst  medical and disability parenting—the disconnection, resentment, and chronic stress that test relationships, and the deepened understanding, teamwork, and shared strength that can come from walking through it together.

Whether you think your marriage has struggled, beenstrengthened, or maybe experienced a little bit of both, this episode has something you can relate to.
