Summer Mini #12: Adjusting to Disability Parenting as a Single Mom | Maddison’s Catch-Up

The Rare Life

It’s only been a year since we’ve heard from Maddison... but oh the things that can change in a year. Shortly after we initially recorded Maddison’s story, she and her husband separated. And the life that Maddison and her daughter knew before with a team of two parents working side by side and supporting each other, it just didn’t look the same anymore.

In this mini-episode, Maddison shares how she’s coped with the abrupt adjustment to single medical parenthood. She shares the parts that she’s found to be most difficult, what she still grieves, and the surprising bright spots she’s found despite the painful changes.
