77. When loving the other parent feels like betrayal - How to support your child without making them choose
Description
It’s one of the hardest parts of post-separation life: your child still loves, misses, or defends the parent who hurt you.
In this deeply compassionate episode, Danielle Black explores the grief, anger, and fear beneath that experience - and explains why children often align with the parent who holds the power, not the peace.
You’ll learn how unresolved trauma and nervous-system dysregulation affect emotional safety, how to avoid the “mirror trap,” and how to become the lighthouse your child can always find.
Through lived experience and trauma-informed insight, Danielle shows that helping children stay emotionally whole means letting them love both parents - without feeling forced to choose.
