Summary

It took you years, decades maybe, to understand what you were going through. It’s no wonder your kids don’t recognize emotional abuse for what it is. Especially because they’re wired to trust their dad. They’re wired to need his love. So they still call him good, loving even. They still think you and their dad should be together. You know better. And it’s agony. What now? In this episode: - Why just showing up makes all the difference in your kids’ lives - How divorce is like an earthquake (and how approaching it from a long-term perspective makes all the difference) - The reason letting your kids go actually gives you a better chance of getting them back - Why allowing your kids to love their dad (and feel all the feels) is important for their well-being, your peace, and your relationship with them - How all of this advice lets you lay down the torment and angst over this topic…for good!

I just want to share a couple of the reviews that came in on Apple iTunes and thank those of you who have left reviews over there. There's so much fun to read. Thank you
