Beyond Divorce: Embracing Change

If Kids Could Talk: What Divorce Feels Like From the Inside


Listen Later

Divorce doesn’t just change family structure—it changes how children experience safety, loyalty, and emotional connection with both parents. In this episode, Michael Flores, LPC-S, Jinohn Marr, LMFT, and Armando Martinez, LPC explore divorce from the child’s point of view, helping parents understand what kids often feel but struggle to say.
They discuss how a mother’s fear and anxiety can unintentionally become a child’s burden, how a father’s pain or frustration can lead kids to feel caught between parents, and how children experience the co-parenting relationship itself—often more deeply than adults realize.
This conversation invites parents to shift from focusing on intent to understanding impact, and to reflect on how their words, emotions, and co-parenting dynamics shape their child’s inner world.
🎧 This episode is for parents who want to reduce anxiety, protect their child’s emotional safety, and create space for kids to love both parents freely.
