What Every Divorcing Parent Should Know—from a Child’s Perspective

In this episode of Confident Coparenting™, Jeanne sits down with her son, Ethan, for an honest and thoughtful conversation about what divorce feels like from a child’s perspective—both in the moment and years later.
Together, they explore the emotions kids often carry quietly during divorce, what adults tend to underestimate, and how communication, reassurance, and emotional safety can make a lasting difference. Ethan shares what helped him feel grounded, how he navigated loyalty and pressure, and what he believes every parent should remember about their child during this time.
This conversation is not about blame or judgment. It’s about listening—really listening—to the inner world of kids and young adults as they experience family change. Whether you are a parent navigating divorce, a co-parent, or a professional who supports families, this episode offers meaningful insight into how parents can show up in ways that help their children feel secure, supported, and seen.
