Divorced Christian Woman

Building Healthier Relationships with Adult Children Post-Divorce


Listen Later

You've survived the marriage from Hades, signed the divorce papers, and maybe even had your ceremonial "burn the wedding dress" moment. 

Your kids are grown, they have opinions (lots of them), and some of those opinions are... not in your favor. If you're wondering how to rebuild, repair, or even just exist in relationship with your adult children post-divorce without losing your mind (or your will to live), this episode is your safe space.

I sit down with my friend and fellow coach, Diana Swillinger, for a conversation about the complex and often heart-wrenching work of parenting adult kids after divorce.

What We Talk About:

  • How your adult kids might try to parent YOU 
  • Why their black-and-white thinking isn’t your fault, (but also maybe kind of is?)
  • How we passed on rigid theology and why it complicates everything now
  • When your child blames YOU for the divorce (hello, Christian programming!)
  • The fine line between a heartfelt apology and a full-blown grovel-fest
  • Using cognitive behavioral tools to detach from their drama and stay in your lane
  • How to hold space for conflicting realities without losing your own mind
  • Hope for reconciliation, even when it feels lightyears away
  • What it means to bring the peace (no, not a pumpkin pie. Peace.)

Feel like a hot mess after divorce? This FREE 5-Day Workshop will teach you a mind-shift tool to help you learn a powerful way to manage your thoughts and emotions in order to navigate adult decisions with clarity and peace.
