Parenting strategies for divorced parents

Monica Hinderer joins Doug to share positive parenting strategies for parents who are divorced. They unpack statistics related to divorce, the negative effects of divorce on children, and share the importance of showing your children unconditional love.

Listener questions and comments:

• Sue - I have experience raising kids through a divorce. I tried to co-parent with a narcissist. You shouldn’t let kids hear negative thoughts about the other spouse. Every negative thing they hear, they internalize.
• Carlos - I'm also divorced. How do you talk to a son who is 21? I don't know how to explain the divorce to him. He feels very hurt.
• Lilian - I was going through a divorce years ago, but my marriage was healed. I did go through a lot of therapy and went to healing masses. A priest I met said that divorce is a spirit and I should pray against it.
• Mary - My husband and I stayed married even though we experienced infidelity. At what age should we share this with our children?
