In this episode, we navigate the intricate dynamics of misunderstandings, assumptions, and unconventional compromises. First, we meet a teenager battling both her father’s denial of her Celiac Disease and her new friend group’s mistaken belief that she has anorexia—leading to a well-meaning but misguided intervention. Next, we explore the complexities of a marriage facing the challenges of Multiple Sclerosis, as a husband’s suggestion of an open marriage leaves his wife questioning how to balance his needs, her feelings, and their relationship. These compelling stories shine a light on the power of clear communication, the weight of assumptions, and the resilience required to sustain relationships through adversity.
