Customer Reviews
Raw, real, funny
I've loved their blogs and articles for years. The podcast is even better. Articulate, funny, sometimes wryly heartbreaking.
As a family law attorney and private Guardian ad Litem...
I really like/enjoy/riff on and sometimes get a little teary over this podcast. As someone who watches and tries to prevent horrible high conflict custody cases because they wreck lives this podcast is a bit of a balm and a roadmap for many. Thanks for doing the hard work and being willing to hold up the warts, and the remarkable benefits of putting your children first. Always. I do have one story I’d share at some point with you about a mom who did move away from regular parent-time after a brutal custody trial that was prejudicial and a modern day Salem trial leaving her little choice, but to leave.
Anywho, bravo. Thank you for sacrificing the occasional emotional feel good of zinging the other parent for the long-term benefits to your kids. “Constant gauntlet”. That’s about right, friends.
The Life...
Thatnk you for putting all of this out there.
