Failing Motherhood

199. Fighting to Stop Fighting + Not Giving Up with Abbey + Jake


Listen Later

Not giving up. Not giving in. Not settling. Being all in. 

Today's episode recounts the story of Abbey, Jake, and their 7-year-old son finding purpose rather than despair, leaning in, offering mutual respect, and feeling like a united front.

From feeling desperate and helpless, having "no good days" to parenting authentically, strategically, enjoying time together again.

From their son never doing something he doesn't want to do, to not saying no anymore.

From considering divorce, to the strongest they've ever felt together.


IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

  • How Jake took a good hard look at his relationship with his son
  • What they had to do to get the "Jerry Springer" moments to stop
  • The heartbreaking question their son asked and how they transformed his self-esteem

DON'T MISS-

  • The power that comes from asking for help
