Restored: Helping Children of Divorce

#119: Broken is What Happened to Me, Not Who I Am | Stacey


Listen Later

After her parents divorced, my guest felt abandoned and badly hoped it was all a dream that she could just wake up from. Dealing with all the brokenness that followed led her down a path of feeling stuck and thinking her brokenness defined her. 


Thankfully, she realized that “‘broken’ is what happened to me, not who I am.” In this episode, we touch on that and more:

  • How just having the pain of your parents’ divorce validated is incredibly helpful and often the first step of healing
  • The many emotional problems she’s had to battle, including anxiety, depression, anger, self-hate, control, and loneliness
  • The tendency in people like us to allow fear to hold us back and cause us to play it safe, but how healing can free us from fear
