30 Years of Caregiving- John Gleason

In this episode of Disabled Expectations, I sit down with John Gleason to talk about his journey raising his 30-year-old daughter Kendra, who has cerebral palsy.

The daily routines, the constant responsibility, and the weight that doesn’t get talked about enough.

John opens up about what day-to-day care truly looks like over time. We get into the thoughts that stay in a father’s head, the pressure to keep showing up, and how this path reshapes your perspective on everything—especially marriage. When the statistics say it’s going to be hard to last, we talk about what actually keeps a relationship together and moving forward.
