REPLAY: Tactical Group Meeting - May 9, 2026

This was a support group meeting for men going through or recovering from divorce, where participants shared their experiences and discussed coping strategies. The conversation centered around morning routines and how establishing daily structures can help manage emotions and set a positive tone for the day. Peter discussed his struggle with low energy and lack of motivation on weekends, while John shared his flexible approach to mornings without strict routines. The group explored how routines can benefit both parents and children, with Jude emphasizing the importance of setting intentions and controlling emotions rather than letting circumstances drive behavior. The discussion then shifted to a specific situation where Hans raised concerns about his ex-wife introducing a man to their children without providing background information, leading to a broader conversation about setting boundaries and dealing with co-parenting challenges. Mitchell shared his difficult situation of being 7 months into an unwanted divorce following physical abuse incidents, and his efforts to rebuild his life while navigating mediation for custody arrangements.
