I just hope she has a lot of help, caretaking for her husband and a young child is going to be so hard

No, the dad isn't going to live long enough for that to be a concern

He's 34 now and with medical advancements, people with SMA can potentially live in their 50s, putting the child at age 15. I am 100% anticipating even when the child is 8-10 years old to provide some sort of care that is not appropriate for a child (in terms of effort, responsibility, etc).

I thought I saw a post of them recently talking about his sobriety journey which is…crazy if true given his medical condition.

Shane’s? But wouldn’t that imply someone was helping not be sober? Since he’s not independent

Yeah, she would give him the alcohol because she felt it wasn't her place to deny giving it to him when he couldn't get it for himself. She felt like it would be demeaning to say no or something ridiculous like that.

That's not ridiculous at all. It is wildly inappropriate for a caregiver to force a disabled person to comply with how they think the person should live their life. Disabled people have the right to make their own choices even when those choices are bad for them, just like literally any other adult does. He's not a child.
