Tension often runs high in the Duchenne household. This can put everyone into an emotional, reactive state driven by the nervous system. Yes, even the parents.
Even so, decisions still need to be made, plans need to be put into action, advocating needs to be done and medical options need to be explored. These ongoing demands mean that many of the conversations the parents in our Duchenne community have with their partner are typically rather stressful.
Unfortunately, two stressed adults – even if they love each other – can leave conversations with hurt feelings, misunderstood body language, and feelings of abandonment. If these are typical components of parent interactions, it’s likely that the marriage itself may not be functioning well. It’s also possible that the whole family might be struggling, too.
The good news is that all this can turn around.
