Last night’s Australian Story was more familiar to my family than most.
Aptly titled ‘Tough Love’, the episode featured the very much in love Michael Cox and Taylor Anderton, a young couple who also happen to have Down syndrome.
Michael and Taylor have been dating for two years, and engaged for one. They cannot wait to be married, and afterwards, they want to have four children together.
Catherine Musk, Taylor’s mother, said in the opening moments of the episode, “Taylor and Michael want to get married and have children, and that makes me feel very worried. It’s not going to happen. It can’t happen.”
