Amen, brother. I have seen bloodbaths when it comes to divorce and how it affects children. I work in the mental health field and treated children/adolescents inpatient. With very few exceptions the children were from divorced parents and lived one week here and one week there.

My BIG goal was the raise my children in a warm, loving, functional marriage. I will stop at nothing to try and accomplish that. So I've been studying the DBing techniques like I studied for my licensing exams, like a full time job. I've watched Michelle's videos repeatedly, read DR multiple times and highlighted passages, I've had 11 DBing sessions with my coach and review the notes constantly. Because while children may be resilient I still want to give them what I never had, a two parent home that was functional and rich with love. So...we soldier on, eh?
