In this episode, we dive into one of the toughest decisions divorcing parents face: what, when, and how to tell their children about the divorce. We explore the intentions behind sharing details—whether it’s for clarity, justification, or emotional release—and the potential consequences of saying too much.

You’ll learn how over-sharing can unintentionally burden children with adult concerns, leading to parentification, split loyalties, self-blame, and emotional instability. We also offer clear, age-appropriate language and guidance to help you talk to your child in a way that promotes safety, predictability, and the most important message of all—love.

Whether you’re newly separated or years into co-parenting, this episode will help you communicate in a way that protects your child’s heart while still being honest and supportive.
