Before his daughter was born, Robin thought he had a sense of what it meant to be a dad. But after a prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 13, that understanding started to unravel.
In this episode, Robin reflects on what it was like to face a future filled with uncertainty, including the possibility that his daughter might not live long and might require a completely different kind of parenting than he had imagined. He shares how that uncertainty led him to emotionally distance himself early on, the role grief and fear played in that response, and how his connection to his daughter has grown and changed over time.
This conversation also touches on learning to be present, understanding your role and strengths as a parent, and how isolating this life can feel, even as you look for connection with others who get it.
