Description

💬 "They made me feel like I had to choose between them."

💬 "They tried to replace mom/dad too quickly."

💬 "They didn’t even know my schedule."

In this eye-opening episode, we’re sharing real insights straight from teens who’ve lived through their parents’ divorce — and what they wish you knew.

Whether you’re just starting the separation process or knee-deep in co-parenting struggles, these 5 powerful truths will help you show up for your teen with more awareness, empathy, and clarity.

You’ll learn:

  • Why logistical consistency matters more than you think

  • The emotional damage caused by introducing new partners too soon

  • How gossiping in the neighborhood or online puts your teen in the spotlight

  • The subtle ways parents pressure teens to “pick a side”

  • And why healthy communication between co-parents is still essential — even if it’s only through an app

This is the episode every divorcing or divorced parent needs to hear. Because when teens speak, it’s our job to listen.
