From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, this time last year I was exactly where you are. The worst part was the kids coming home upset. I got a new job in April. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.โ€

    Tired dad in Barranquilla ยท been through co-parenting after separation
  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. Two years ago, that was me. The worst part was handovers at the petrol station. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back.โ€

  • โ€œI think I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I made a shared calendar for the family so I'm not the only one remembering.โ€

    Rhie B ยท been through co-parenting after separation
  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: In 2022 I was exactly where you are. For me it was the kids coming home upset. I got a new job this spring. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ€
