What It's Really Like to Grow Up Between Two Homes: A Conversation with Bella Duncan


Listen Later

What is it truly like for children growing up in divorced families? In this episode, I sit down with Bella Duncan, creator of A Kid With Two Homes, who gives us a rare and honest perspective on divorce from the child's point of view. Now an adult, Bella reflects on her own experiences and sheds light on the challenges kids often navigate silently when moving between two households.

We dive into the real, everyday experiences children face, including why birthdays and holidays can feel complicated, the pressure of loyalty conflicts, adjusting to different rules and routines, and how assumptions and resentment can quietly shape their feelings. Bella also shares the unexpected skills kids develop—like organization and decision-making—and how self-awareness and resilience can help them feel seen and supported.

Whether you're a parent, co-parent, or professional working with children of divorce, this episode offers insight into what kids really wish adults understood and practical ways we can do better. Bella's reflections are honest, relatable, and ultimately hopeful—reminding us that even in the middle of family transitions, children's voices matter.
