*************************************************************************************

Have you ever heard your child use your ex’s hurtful words—and felt a wave of dread because it sounds just like them all over again?

As a divorced parent, nothing stings quite like realizing your child is picking up the same language, tones, or behaviors that once caused you pain. If you’re triggered when your kid starts echoing your ex—or even acting out patterns you’re desperate to leave behind—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck in shame, guilt, or confusion.

In this episode, you’ll discover why this emotional gut-punch is so common for co-parents and single moms, how your own triggers say more about your unhealed wounds than your child’s choices, and what to do in the moment to avoid projecting old pain onto your kid—while still holding healthy boundaries and compassion. You’ll also learn how to reframe these moments as powerful invitations to break the cycle, model emotional honesty, and create a more secure, attuned bond with your child.

Listen now for real talk, practical healing tools, and some much-needed permission to feel it all—because navigating this pain can become one of the bravest, most transforming steps on your divorce recovery journey.
