The Kids Are Alright

Ex-it Strategy

We talk about how we are excited to be getting vaccines and people are starting to come back into the office.

Will McGlone is a good friend of Jen's and is the guest on the show. We talk a little about college-years and how Jen and Will became friends at ECU.

We are excited to talk to Will about his experience and remembrance of his parent's divorce during his childhood now that he is grown up and has a wife and children of his own. Will's parents got divorced when he was five years old.

Many people think that the kids don't know what going on when mom and dad are fighting all the time, but we believe the kids know.

Will talks about how his parents told him they were going to get a separation and we share the stories of when our parent's told us as well.

Custody can be one of the hardest things to understand as a child and is often misunderstood from the child's perspective. It is difficult when one of the parents moves states away and it changes the dynamic of the relationship.

One thing that seems to be a unifier in stories of divorce is the desire for the children of divorce to raise their kids in a different kind of environment.

With the benefit of age and hindsight, we discuss whether or not we wish our parents would have stayed together. Also, we share advice for the parents going through a divorce about important things kids need to hear during separation and divorce.

We know it may feel difficult or impossible right now but kids are resilient and they will be okay in the long run.
