We're continuing our Most Loved Episode Summer Series, and coming in at number two is a listener favorite that continues to resonate with so many families: True Lies: When Kids Get Conflicting Messages from Their Divorced Parents.

In this powerful episode, Michael Flores, LPC-S, and Jinohn Marr, LMFT, unpack one of the most common—and emotionally charged—issues divorced parents face: what to do when a child hears different versions of the truth from each parent.

Michael and Jinohn share real-world examples of “true lies,” including misconceptions around child support, court involvement, and custody arrangements. They explore how these conflicting messages affect children, why some parents may share information that confuses or distorts the truth, and what therapists can do to support kids in making sense of it all.

You’ll also hear how your own beliefs shape your version of “truth” and why self-awareness is essential for navigating high-conflict parenting dynamics. This episode offers clear guidance for how to respond when your child comes to you with a statement that feels untrue or unfair—and how to protect their emotional well-being in the process.

A must-listen for anyone raising kids through or after divorce. Stay with us until the end—it’s packed with insight, validation, and tools you can use right away.
