S3 E3: Daughters and Sons of Divorce

In this personal episode, I speak as both a mother and a woman who made the hardest decision of her life so that her daughters would grow up knowing what love is not supposed to feel like. This is not a general conversation about divorce. This is a conversation from the inside of it.We talk about the invisible burden that children of divorce are handed — often by well-meaning people — to bring their parents back together. We talk about what it looks like to protect children from adult conflict without lying to them. And we talk about what it means to deliberately build something in your children because of what they went through with you.And then we talk about sons.Because the conversation about children of divorce almost always centres daughters. But boys carry these wounds just as deeply — they just carry them quietly, behind a face that says 'I don't care.' That face is a facade. And our community does not say nearly enough about what boys actually need: permission to feel, and real male role models who show them in practice what a man looks like.
