YouTube recommended this for me the night I found out my wife is having an affair. Thank you for your wisdom. Please pray for my kids and family.

It's been a week since my separation from my wife and I am struggling so much with not being with my kids everyday. It feels like it will never be ok in my head and I will never be able to deal with that fact

My little girl is having a hard time and all I want is to be able to take her pain away:( I feel like it’s just devastating that she is having to start her life having to go through this. Breaks my heart that so many kids are having to go through this

Even though no bad mouthing, parents should be honest. Cheating is wrong, abuse and violence is wrong. The kids do well with truth and intentional positive and firm direction. The person is not being judged, the behavior is.

I am a therapist working with children and teens. Sadly, many of those kids I treat are experiencing divorce/separation, and all the baggage and difficulty that involves. I appreciate your insights, direct approach, and genuine style. I am officially a new subscriber. Thank you.

This may be some of the most concise and helpful information I have come across. And the delivery is fun and lighthearted. Well done!!

In the end, you love each other And it came to the point you disrespected each other. It's shouldn't have to be a battlefield. You still love each other. You're a part of each other forever because you have each Others Kid. No one could take that away from you and the anger is just pain. The blaming is just pain. Let him go without destroying each other is hard but has to be done.

Thank you so much for this. I wish I’d discovered it years ago. Separated when our daughter was just 18 months - she’s now 10. I’ve made so many mistakes. I hope I can make up for them. Thanks for your channel - such important information for our beautiful kids.

I have as of a month ago found out my wife is divorcing me. Yes, I am at a lot of fault but I recently have found out shes been texting other dudes. Now she has a kid who isn’t genetically mine but I love the little bugger more than life. He’s brought so much joy and comfort into my life and I don’t want to end a relationship with him. Storm is awesome, so was she. Wish I could’ve shaped up sooner. Thank you for this video.

After trying for 6 years to cover up for his anger issues and his family history of domestic violence, matters just went out of hand when he refused to hand over my son. I did not want a situation of conflict to affect my son but it has already happened.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING from your years of experience from working with families.
So sad .. to hear the kids heavy burden of trying to figure it out.
I've been there, trying to figure it out. I know the feeling as a little child .

I'm currently about to process the Divorce with my Husband. We are separated but only by words. We haven't slept in the same room for years. But we lived together do to financial reasons.
I have a 10 yo and a 14 yo.
Trying to have a convo about the agreement with my husband, he has made it difficult to come to an agreement. When I told him that we had to come together to tell the girls, he said that they already knew. Which they don't. Then he said ok well I'll agree to anything you want but only if when it comes down to it you tell them and tell them why. And I told him that's not a good idea. That we have to do it together. But I didn't know how to tell him. I will send him your videos which are also helpful for myself.

You are appreciated!! Thank you for
The wisdom

I really wish my parents did some of these things, maybe things would be different right now.

[MacM]

My parents literally did the complete opposite of what you suggested by a long shot 😢

Could an older sibling also comfort and support their youngest siblings through divorce with these methods?

I’m a teenager with three younger siblings, two of which under ten years old. I want to support them the best I can while my parents are getting divorced. Is there anything more I can do for them?
