Listen Later

Say hello to Philip Turner, a single dad who sacrificed what he wanted so that his daughter could have more. Faced with the reality that he worked so much and was not able to be home when it counted.  He agreed with his ex about moving with his daughter to another state where they knew would be supported instead of fighting to keep her near and not see her. He admits to not knowing what to do but wanting to create the best situation for his daughter, even if it meant her being 700 miles away. 

At the time he questioned himself and whether or not he made a mistake. His commitment to his daughter and not wanting her to see mommy and daddy feeling negatively about each other was all he had. That and the vision of her growing up knowing that mom and dad are on the same team, that mom and dad were on her team.

This story is interesting and it has lots where we can learn from. It shows how when you are committed to the child, how it can work. Listen to the episode and find out what happened during a certain holiday with Philip, the ex, the new boyfriend, and a sleepover...
