Such an important topic. Bella you are giving voice to and filling a critical need. It’s hard for parents to have the perspective of their kids when going through divorce especially if neither parent experienced divorce themselves. Thank you so much for this excellent discussion. I learned so much and feel less anxious about how to navigate through my divorce with my kids.
