"Terrible, Thanks for Asking"

In getting prepared for this class, the podcast “Terrible, Thanks for Asking” really hit me hard. The fact that his wife realized that she was a burden to her family and even asked if her husband would want a divorce and to just co-parent their children was something that shocked me at first. At first, I thought that it was sad that she would even think that way or feel like that was what he wanted but then as I was thinking about it I realized that while she was not completely present all the time, she was still putting her family first and thinking about what would be best for them. I did wonder if having her husband say he wouldn't marry her if she was how she is now when they met was really something that he should be telling her. I thought that while yes he was embracing the thought of being honest, nobody wants to be someone that their significant other doesn't desire. I can't imagine how hearing your husband say that would make you feel, especially if you already feel like they could do better. I thought it was very neat when their daughter would lean over to her sister or to her mom to comfort them and help them through the interview. I love that she said that her mom is somebody else to help and didn't act like it was a burden to help her. I really enjoyed the overall story and it gave me a lot of insight into the life of somebody who has a traumatic brain injury and their family.
