SHOW NOTES

Lets be straight on this one.  Divorce sucks.  It hurts.  It tears apart. It leaves us feeling like bruised up turds.  But can our kids go through a divorce without feeling destroyed?  Absolutely yes!  And the fact of the matter is that divorce is a reality for many of us.  

A few of the common mistakes I have seen families run in to with divorce involve not knowing what to tell them, not knowing how to let kids feel and express what’s going on with them,  not taking care of ourselves as parents, and the famous question of “what should I do about my new love-life.”  

Today we answer the tough questions about divorce, how to help the kids, and how to help ourselves.  We  can absolutely get our kids through this unscathed.
