In today’s episode, we’re joined by a remarkable guest who grew up navigating life between two homes. Now a successful attorney, devoted husband, and proud father of two, he reflects candidly on the challenges he faced as a child of divorced parents. He shares the emotional hurdles of growing up in a separated family and his ongoing journey to break the cycle, creating a stable, loving environment for his own family.
Key Topics Covered:
- It’s about time…
- Separation of parents was easy - what came after was worse.
- Biggest challenges
- Tools used to deal with the conflict
- What does it feel like for a child when one parent doesn’t stop talking negatively about the other parent?
- Can I make it stop?
- Does it get better?
- The lasting effects of parental conflict on children
- Keep kids out of the conflict — no matter what (it does get complicated when only one parent follows this piece of advice)
- When new partners come in, if they are loving toward your children, let them be loved. It is not a competition - loving and supportive parents can never be replaced by a new person in your kids’ lives.
“We must be willing to let go of the life we've planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” - Jeff Roberts
