The Divorced Dad Diaries is a podcast about my journey through separation and divorce. It will hopefully help reflect on different topics that we, men, don’t always like or want to talk about!

In this episode, I talk about what it is like the Day After you have the talk, and decide to move forward with your separation or divorce. It is a scary moment, and a lot of unknown, but also a chance for a new beginning.

This year, I had a pretty quiet Father's Day. But at the same time, it was one of the best one I had. Being a parent is not easy, but sometimes, you need that little boost to make you feel better.
That is what I'll be sharing with you this week... And I hope it makes you think and inspire you a little bit... All I can say is hang in there, you're doing a great job! :)

This week, I have the pleasure of having Bruce Mclaughlin, author of the book He said, She S.A.I.D., and then he went to jail. We talk about his incredible story, his book, and also talk about what divorce and custody battle can do to a family.
Part memoir, part thriller, and part horror story, He Said, She S.A.I.D., retells the story of one man’s arrest, trial, conviction, escape attempt, and 4-year incarceration before he was able to prove his innocence and finally win his freedom. His story is particularly relevant reading amid the #MeToo movement. It also shines a light on aspects of Virginia’s criminal justice system that require immediate reform. Having experienced the fate of criminals consigned to the Commonwealth’s penal system, Bruce has dedicated the next stage of his career to educating the public on what parts of the system need to be changed, sharing his perspective as both a felon and an attorney, and advocating for those changes in the halls of justice.
You can find Bruce's book on Amazon, Apple Books, or on its website at www.hesaidshesaidbook.com

This week, I talked about Marriage Counselling and Therapy. Should we go through it, and is it really worth it? Could it save my marriage (and avoid a divorce)? Or is it just a wishful thinking?
I've asked around and got some really interesting feedback on all this... And what about you, what do you think? :)

In this episode, I talked about the children's custody and the different ways to share time with your kids. But at the end, what should we do with our kids when they're with us? Or when they are not? How can everyone be happy?

In this episode, I discuss how, when and what should be (or shouldn't be!) communicated to your ex-spouse. What is best? Text, email or a phone call? Or just none of the above?

This week, I talk about relapse. Everything might look better, go better, all seemed aligned, but there's always a risk for a relapse. How can you deal with it and get back on your feet?
Feel free to share your thoughts on this!

Let's try to settle this once and for all... Is that true that Dads just want to have fun? :)
In this episode, I decided to talk about the myth or reality that dads just want to have fun. We're never serious, or never the serious parent in a relationship. Is that true? And how so? Can we also be a strict that nowadays? Why not both?
Feel free to share your thoughts on this!
Stay safe! :)

It is this time of year! Holidays are almost here, and as much as it was never easy to plan when married, with family and friends, it can be even more challenging when you're divorced.
We talk about planning, which is key to successful holidays, our first Christmas alone, and also out with the old and in with the new traditions with the kids!
It's not something easy, but we can make it fun and start something new all together!
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Please stay safe and looking forward to have you back with me in the new year!

This week, I had the pleasure to meet with Tracy Poizner from The Essential Stepmom.
In addition to her group for stepmoms, Tracy hosts a Facebook community for divorced dads called "One for the Dads" to create a safe, private space on social media for asking questions and sharing challenges.
She recently asked the group what they were having the most trouble with in their parenting and they said they wanted to know "How do you stick to your guns and hold limits with your kids, without feeling like a bad guy".
So, she created a 3-day Facebook Challenge called the "Stick to your Guns Parenting Bootcamp for Divorced Dads - and other Nice Guys". The bootcamp ran a few weeks ago, but she's offered my listeners to access the replay.
You can sign up for that by going to bit.ly/dadpower and she'll send you the videos.
You can also join Tracy and other dads on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneforthedads
Also, you also read more about Tracy on the website: http://www.EssentialStepMom.com
And also can listen to her podcast Essential Stepmom, which I had the pleasure of being on a little while back :)
