#39 | "He Opened The Door And Just Walked Off"

Про цей епізод

<p>You can know your child inside out and still be blindsided in the space of a week.</p><p>This one starts with Thomas opening the front door and wandering off down a hill in a quiet Shropshire village - the same week Lydia did almost exactly the same thing. From there it runs into the half-term chaos that brought biting back out of nowhere, the dread of summer toilet training and puberty creeping into view, and a proper kicking of the Department for Education for handing SEND to Gemma Collins after the white paper left families feeling gaslit.</p><p>Underneath the rage and the dark humour, it lands somewhere quieter. Gaz and Andy talk about the pre-autism photos, the grief that takes turns between two parents, and the two-second forehead touch that says everything a spoken &quot;I love you&quot; never will.</p><p>You&#39;ll come away realising two things can be true at once. You can grieve the life you pictured and still get up and be the dad your kid actually needs.</p>
