In Part 2 of "CF Parenting Stories: 3 Voices, 3 Perspectives", Abi, Mike, and Morgan return to explore how parenting when you have cystic fibrosis evolves across stages of life. They talk about managing decline, building support, and the hard reality of not knowing how many healthy years you’ll get. There’s reflection on partnerships, mental load, and the complex role guilt plays—both in parenting and being parented.

But this conversation isn’t just about what’s hard. It’s also about presence, perspective, and the joy that is parenting—even if things feel uncertain.

From board game meltdowns to grief spirals, this episode captures the perspective, pragmatism, and constant recalibration of parenting when you have CF.
