The Divorced Dad Diaries

Episode 46 - Anger - Navigating the Second Stage of Divorce

Welcome back to a new episode of The Divorced Dad Diaries!.   After a brief hiatus, I am happy to return with you all.

In this episode, I delve into the anger stage of divorce, the phase that follows denial.

Let's explore how anger surfaces when the reality of divorce sets in, sparking intense emotions and potential conflicts. I shares personal anecdotes and practical advice on managing this tumultuous period, highlighting the importance of communication, the pitfalls of emotional decisions, and the long-term impacts on both parents and children.

Join us as we discuss strategies to cope with anger constructively, ensuring that decisions are made with clarity rather than emotion. Understand the significance of asking the right questions and focusing on future gains rather than dwelling on past hurts. Tune in to gain valuable perspectives on navigating this challenging phase and moving towards a more positive future.

Episode 43 - The Five Stages of Grief in Divorce

This week on The Divorced Dad Diaries, I will talk about the  grief during divorce.   

A person going through a divorce will go through a grieving process resembling the five stages of grieving death (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance). Those 5 stages are often defined as a sequence of steps that one must get through in order to heal from a divorce.

The next 5 episodes will be dedicated and focus on every stage.
