From people who came through it
“If 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.”
Tired dad in Barranquilla · been through co-parenting after separation“Sé que ahora todo es muy confuso. Las noches son largas y el dolor es fuerte. Pero puedo decirte que se puede salir. Al principio, todo parece imposible. Pero con el tiempo, encuentras una nueva normalidad. No te preocupes si no puedes dormir; habla con alguien. Y no tengas miedo de pedir ayuda. Tus hijos te necesitan fuerte. Un día a la vez.”
Shoaib · been through co-parenting after separation“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't. It made everything harder. Two hours off a week, non negotiable. It's what keeps me going. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
Saurabh Ms · been through co-parenting after separation“Dear stranger, i was where you are this time last year. It was his new partner and my kids and I couldn't see past it. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.”
