Listen Later

Staying for the kids" is a phrase loaded with expectation and sacrifice. But is staying in a relationship after betrayal truly the noble choice? Or could it be teaching your children lessons about love, self-worth, and authenticity that you never intended?

In this episode of After the Affair, we explore:

  • The societal mantra of “staying for the kids” and why it’s not always the best path.
  • The hidden costs of staying in an inauthentic relationship.
  • How children absorb lessons about love and self-worth from their parents’ actions, not just their words.
  • The long-term impact of prioritizing emotional health and authenticity over appearances.
  • This episode is a must-listen for any parent navigating betrayal and wondering how to make the right decision for their family’s future. Join host Luke Shillings as he unpacks the complexities of parenting after infidelity and how to model resilience and authenticity for your children.

    🎧 Listen now and discover why your happiness might just be the greatest gift you can give your kids.
