Will Divorce Ruin My Kids and Their Opportunities in Life?

For women escaping emotionally abusive husbands, divorce often feels like a scarlet “A” on their chest. Or “D.” They wonder if they’ll be marked for life.

And worse, they fear how their kids will suffer the consequences.

First, because they lived in a home of chaos and pain and trauma. Second, because they’ll have to face the assumptions and judgment of other people.

A “broken” family. A single-parent household. “Sinful” parents. Not “true” Christians. Bad influences. The sort of mom and kids other people whisper about.

Is this your fear? Your reality? Then I’ve got great news and lots of it.

Listen in for:

- The reason our brains like to borrow trouble (which can be helpful or silly)

- Why protecting our kids can actually backfire (no problems/pain = most people become jerks)

- A quick reminder (and a big number) to help you feel less like an outcast

- A Flying Higher member’s story about reaching emotional peace

- A crappy definition of forgiveness: 1. I will never bring this up to you again, 2. I will never bring this up to others again, 3. I will never bring this up to myself again. (Where’s the vomit emoji when you need it?)

- A definition of forgiveness that’s not icky, that lets you breathe and doesn’t demand you betray yourself or let someone harm you
