In this episode, we tackle the most emotional part of the triage: The Father’s Shadow. When the house goes quiet and the custody schedule starts, most men fall into the "Disney Dad" trap. Bill explains how to stop the over-compensation and start building a Second Foundation that your children can actually lean on.

Your kids aren't listening to your explanations; they are watching your life. In Stage 3 of The Unspoken Shift, Bill Bates breaks down why trying to "buy" your kids' affection during a divorce is a leadership failure. If you want to keep your kids, you have to stop being their friend and start being their foundation. We cover the "Perimeter Protocol" and why discipline is the highest form of love during a divorce triage.
