Forgiveness, Faith & Fatherhood: Surviving and Thriving as a Divorced Dad

Navigating divorce as a dad isn’t just about surviving court dates and custody calendars—it’s about healing, self-discovery, and, yes, even finding moments to laugh. On this episode of Parenting 411, Dr. David Webb gets real about the messy grace of fatherhood after divorce. From the chaos of “week-on, week-off” parenting to overcoming anger and building joyful new traditions with his kids, Dr. Webb shares wisdom, humor, and that all-important message: love your kids more than you hate your ex. Tune in as David and I dig into why dads today are more involved than ever, why forgiveness is a game-changer, and how even the hardest seasons can give dads hope for an even brighter future—one filled with UNO games at 3 a.m., Christmas Eve pizza parties, and the freedom to start new chapters.   CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 02:07 - Turning Point as a Dad and Man 04:00 - Contentious Divorce Factors 05:24 - Consistency in Co-Parenting 12:09 - Faith-Based Counseling and Parenting 14:20 - Men's Anger During Divorce 19:14 - Staying Grounded During Divorce 22:00 - Accepting Negative Feelings Towards the Ex 24:00 - Looking Forward with Adult Children 26:00 - Experience Shaping Views on Love 29:00 - What Went Right in Difficult Situations 33:20 – Closing Thoughts   Check out our brand partners for this episode: Ulta – Moms can keep their skin refreshed with Phyto Nature Firming Serum by Dermalogica.
