When my kids were still little, I went through a tough divorce. It wasn’t just the heartbreak; it was the fear that my kids would get stuck in the middle. There were times my ex-husband would undermine my relationship with them, and it took every ounce of strength and patience to keep things positive. I made it my mission to encourage my kids to see the good in both of us, and to not feel like they had to pick sides. It wasn’t easy, but over time, we built a strong, trusting bond that I’m deeply proud of today. I also faced the heartbreak of losing my parents and a close family member, experiences that taught me the importance of resilience, compassion, and starting over. I’ve helped friends work through tough relationship struggles by listening thoughtfully and helping them reflect with kindness. Now, I’d love to offer that same support to anyone navigating the messy, emotional world of co-parenting.
