Chris’s journey as dad (Noonan syndrome) 10 years in. PART 2

Part 2- have you listened to part 1? https://anchor.fm/lifewithjamieandmoreinjapan/episodes/Chriss-journey-as-dad-Noonan-syndrome-10-years-in--PART-1-e238ffb. We get into birthdays and how Chris navigated the recent birthday of Logan turning 10. The dad network like so many dads was small and still is for Chris, and with a ratio of dads visible at doctor or PT visits it seems to solidify the feeling of feeling alone and not seen as dad. We discuss emotional availability of dads and how it is not replicated well in movies and so on. But there is a movie called ‘Me time’ which is a great movie which will make you laugh.. Kevin Hart nails it. Chris needs to ‘zone out’, so he can be the dad he wants to be, and he has found a few ways to do so… I might take up gaming after this. Chris is open about how he is around his kids and struggles with his impatience because he was not taking time for himself and impatience grew. This was in contrast to how he was before kids.:. Oh how I understand that. He shares how now he realizes that he needs people more than what he thought he did… tell me these words are not resonating with you! So get it to it now. Here are links for great information on Noonan syndrome. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oAxxukuzh0Risln0iKOSNICb1wjsHQrg/view https://rasopathiesnet.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/265_Noonan_Guidelines.pdf https://wessland.com/noonansyndrome.htm Please share it with those who may need to hear two dads talking about their journey with kids with extra needs.
