Getting help and feeling misunderstood: the bane of a T1D parent’s existence.  But what happens when we feel misunderstood by the people who are supposed to be closest to us, like our own family? Because I’ve heard these challenges from so many parents, I took this question from a listener who’s struggling with family misunderstanding about their child’s T1D.  It’s feeling so bad that they are thinking about walking away from the relationship altogether. Annie and I discuss: The ways it can feel when family isn’t understanding our experience as T1D parents.  How important it is to recognize if people don’t have the capability to meet us in the struggles of a diabetes diagnosis. Ways we might be able to get more support from people by asking for what we need as T1D parents.   Stay tuned for our next episode of the Sweet Talk podcast!  Like, subscribe, and share!
