Important conversations

Well done on having these courageous conversations and taking the time to make them available

StevieBoyAu ,

Great concept - well executed

Parenting is hard when you do it as team, it is harder again when you separate a bad divorce. It is harder again when you have to do it without a support team around you.

Claire us starting to expose the real difficulties faced by parents today, especially in difficult circumstances.
