Summary
My guest today is Kathrin. She and her ex-husband are still living together, but he often ignores her and doesn’t consult her about their children. Kathrin wants him to value her presence and not shut her out when it comes to parenting. She’s afraid of being excluded, left to do unpleasant household tasks while he and the children go happily on with their life. What a dilemma! Will she find a way out? Join Kathrin and me as we do The Work.
