The Empowered Divorce Podcast; Navigating Divorce After Betrayal Trauma and Abuse

79. What Do Kids Really Need To Know; About Your Story, Your Divorce & Your Ex?


Listen Later

It's confusing, overwhelming, and gut wrenching that you are even considering having these kids of conversations. What to tell your kids about divorce, about your story and about their father.

I've got you.

Today I am sharing 4 things to consider and you answer this question for yourself.


  1. Separating Your Story from Your Children's Story: Recognizing that your experience is different from your children's experience and refraining from making your story theirs or vice versa.

  2. Asking More Questions Before Answering: When children ask questions, asking them more questions to understand what they are truly seeking to know before providing answers.

  3. Validating Feelings Without Trashing the Father: Validating children's feelings and experiences without adding personal bias or negative commentary about the other parent.

  4. Trusting Your Intuition as a Mother: Recognizing that as a mother, you know your children best and trusting your instincts in how to navigate difficult situations and conversations with them.
