The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast

After last week’s Q&A episode, I received an outpouring of submissions from listeners with questions about co-parenting, relationships, and life after divorce. So I decided to do one more Q&A episode for you! This week I answer two co-parenting questions: one relates to how open to be with children about the details of your divorce, and the other has to do with co-parenting when your ex has a new partner.  I also discuss mindset and mental health post-divorce, including how to cope with feelings of guilt or shame; and how to know if your new relationship is healthy for you.   In this episode, I answer these listener questions: How can I talk to my kids about the divorce process when leaving an emotionally and psychologically abusive marriage? There are things I can’t tell them in order to respect their relationship with my ex. How do I let them know I am taking a stand, his behavior was not okay, but also respect their relationship with him? How do you know if your new relationship is healthy? After divorcing a narcissist, I am finding it hard to trust a new man and myself fully. But, I don’t want to sabotage a new relationship. My husband had a three-year affair with a co-worker half his age. He is still with her and she may end up being a stepmother to my children. My ex and I co-parent beautifully right now, adding her to the mix could ruin all we have accomplished. Help? How do I cope with feelings of guilt or shame over my divorce?

Earlier this month I aired a listener Q&A episode which ended up being a favorite of listeners, as well as women in my Facebook group. It’s important to me to cover topics that resonate with you. So, here I am again, with another Q&A episode! This time I answer four questions around the topics of supporting your children through divorce, including co-parenting with a narcissist and how to handle a manipulative co-parent. I also cover how to communicate you want a divorce to a partner who struggles with mental illness.  If you like this Q&A format, I need your questions. You can submit them anonymously.  Submit your questions or story, right here. I hope to hear from you soon. In this episode, I answer these listener questions: Can you provide suggestions or resources for children of narcissistic parents? How do you get out of a marriage or co-parent when your partner struggles with mental illness? What to do when your soon-to-be-ex-spouse tries to take full custody, restricts parenting time, and claims unfounded allegations, false narratives, or manipulative behavior to make you look like an unfit parent? I am worried about the effects on my children after staying in a marriage with a narcissist for 28 years. How can I support my children after staying in a marriage with and then divorcing a narcissist?

I’ve been a fan of Leslie Bennetts for quite some time. She is a journalist and expert on women's issues who has spoken all over the world on financial security and women's empowerment. She is the author of The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much? She is also my guest this week on the podcast! I am so honored and excited to share this interview with you.  Leslie says, “After divorce, men’s standard of living goes up and women’s goes down a cliff.” The system is broken. Moreover, the blueprint for women’s lives is deeply antiquated. The women in my Facebook community have learned this the hard way. We need a new blueprint.  Leslie joins me to bring light to this topic and offers ways we can work to rise up, overcome, and create a new, self-sufficient, path forward.  “It’s time for us to say, ‘No,’ this isn't good enough. It’s time to rise up and defend our own interests.” Leslie Bennetts Show Highlights Why Leslie wrote her book, The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much? (3:29) We must stop telling women and girls that motherhood or marriage is the answer. (9:04) The feminine mistake is economic dependency. (10:15) Leslie explains why men’s sense of entitlement is a problem for women. (13:52) Women should not blame themselves or be blamed for opting out of the workforce to be a caretaker. (25:31) But, it is critical for women to be responsible for their own destinies and financial security. (31:12) It’s not your fault! You do have to cope with radical change, but it is not your fault.
