Did You Grow Up In A Divorced Family? | Episode 134

About this episode

The episode discusses the complexities of divorce, particularly in relation to childhood experiences and religious beliefs, while encouraging compassion over judgment.

Do you have a strong opinion on divorce?  Once again, we see another well known speaker/author come out to say he has been having an affair (although I would say it’s a second life at this point). Now the question for his wife becomes, “Should I divorce him?”  At this point, their kids are all grown, but it got me thinking about what you would do if you were in this situation with small kids and your faith is such that it mourns divorce so badly.  Does it come from your childhood or a religious belief? We all want to judge, but let's talk about why this is and how we can be more compassionate, not cruel. My book, ‘UnMothered No More’ is now live on Amazon!
