The Hardest Choice I Ever Had to Make

from NeuroDivergent Relationships Podcast with Kathy Marshack, Ph.D. · host Kathy Marshack, Ph.D.

This is the story of the hardest choice Dr. Marshack ever had to make: the choice to protect herself, even when it meant letting go of the people she loved most.   This raw episode details the chaos of a high-stakes, NeuroDivergent divorce involving parental alienation, overwhelming meltdowns, and total betrayal. You'll hear the agonizing truth of being threatened with arrest while trying to protect her Autistic daughter.    Dr. Marshack reveals that choosing yourself in these circumstances isn't "empowerment wrapped in a bow,” it's a Sophie's Choice that leaves a scar. Learn how she stepped out of the fire, continues to shine, and keeps the light burning, believing her daughters will find her whole and loving them.   ————————————————————    If you are looking for more resources for NeuroDivergent relationships, start with Unlocking NeuroDivergent Relationships, a Comprehensive Resource Preview.   The Discussion Continues: Join the confidential Podcast After Party for this episode!
