10 Years Divorced: What I Learned as a Father

I've been divorced for about ten years. And when you get divorced with kids, everybody talks about custody, child support, weekends, holidays, schedules and court orders. Nobody really prepares you for what happens afterward. What does it feel like dropping your child off and driving home without them? What happens when communication between parents breaks down? How do you stop putting your child in the middle? And how do you accept that you can't control what happens in another household? After ten years, I've gotten things right—and I've gotten plenty wrong. In this Battle Ready Solo Series, I'm sharing what I've learned about divorce, fatherhood and co-parenting, including why children should never be forced to choose sides, why communication matters, how I've learned to control what I can control, and why your relationship with your child matters more than winning an argument with your ex. I also walk through my five-question Battle Ready Co-Parent Check to help divorced parents evaluate their own behavior instead of only focusing on what the other parent is doing. Because divorce may change your family. It doesn't have to destroy it. 🎙️ Battle Ready Solo Series | Battle Harder Podcast
