When Your Spouse or Ex Emotionally Hurts Your Children

Amie and Alana address the issue of when your spouse or ex is emotionally hurting your children or disappointing them over and over and over, and the impact that has on your children and on you. A lot of big feelings come up when you see something affecting your children, and this can be a particularly difficult situation.  Addiction makes it really difficult to connect with other humans, including your kids. You want to protect them, and you’re also trying to repair the relationship that could still be causing them pain. When there is this level of conflict in a marriage, all kids are going to be impacted.  They’ve already been impacted.  They feel it.  Rather than trying to protect our kids from this (which probably isn’t even possible), we can offer them the space to feel the feelings that are showing up. Some topics we cover today: How to practice feeling your feelings in your body and what you can learn from them Exercises to help you get clear on the thoughts that are underneath your fear Ways to support your kids through difficult times The thought that created a huge parenting shift for Amie How to create space for your kids to notice and express what they’re experiencing If you are suffering from betrayal trauma and want to know what your next step is, book a free consultation with us to find what is best for you and your needs.
