Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Diane Simon Smith discusses the amount of stress that is often placed on a marriage when a couple has a child (or children) with Fragile X syndrome.
A mother and wife shares the lessons she learned while navigating her son’s very scary Fragile X syndrome diagnosis and the ensuing pressure it put on her marriage.
When children enter the relationship, couples must adapt to their new roles as parents while trying to stay connected as lovers and partners. And when one or more of the children has Fragile X syndrome, there is a whole new set of challenges.
