Divorced But Never Defeated

When Co-Parenting Isn’t Cooperative

Divorced Mom & Divorced Dad

Divorced Dad and Divorced Mom open up about the raw, behind-the-scenes realities of co-parenting after difficult divorces from equally difficult exes. From tense courtroom moments to the emotional toll of enforcing hard-earned court orders, they share the exhausting—but—empowering journey of showing up for their children without always having the support they need. Divorced Mom reflects on representing herself in court, managing unresponsive communication, and staying grounded through careful documentation. Divorced Dad shares the emotional highs and lows of trying to maintain peace and stability, even when co-parenting feels completely one-sided. Together, they talk about the personal growth that’s come from learning to validate each other, shift their communication styles, and not take things so personally. They now focus on finding joy, making space for laughter, and holding onto hope—even in the hardest seasons. This episode is a reminder that peace isn’t about eliminating conflict. It’s about holding on to the good, even when the storm doesn’t let up.
