In a bit of a different feel than my other posts. I have a sort of rhetorical question? Anyone out there have any encouraging words/experience for people who separate after a long relationship with a kid in the middle? Do anti-social nerds get another chance at "love"? On the kid side ... how do separated parents try to shield the kid so it keeps living a normal life when both parents separate amicably and both love the kid more than anything in the world? Curious to hear if any people have experience here. Asking .. ehm ... for a friend šŸ˜¢

First a gentle reminder: the love that matters isnā€™t about being someone more social or less nerdy, but about finding those who can see and appreciate you as you are, quirks and all. And sometimes, stepping into the unknown is actually the bravest and best thing you can do. On the parenting side, thereā€™s so much importance for a childā€™s sense of safety and normalcy to be retained. I love Gabor MatĆ©ā€™s work in general but he has some great stuff on childhood development - children are super resilient when surrounded by emotionally present adults that continuously show up, regardless of external circumstances. Even if things change, they know their parentsā€™ love is the constant. More here https://drgabormate.com/childhood-development-parenting/ Sending šŸ«¶
