We or I have to apologize for the dad jokes on divorce at the beginning of the show.  Rachel needed some pep in her step after a few trying days with the kiddos at the school.  So, we start with jokes but dive into the realm of our favorite topic: Forgiveness (AKA - giving no f*cks).  We think this is the third go around with this subject so you know it is important to us if we keep talking about it.  Transitioning to discussing the topic of forgiveness and sharing our personal journeys of forgiveness after divorce, we emphasize the importance of letting go and not allowing the actions of others to affect one's own well-being. Rachel and I also discuss the impact of divorce on children and the need for boundaries and effective co-parenting then concluding by teasing future episodes and topics to be explored.  Being in a different space in our forgiveness since the last mention of it, we totally realize that it is a total waste of time not to forgive.  It just hurts you and not the other person.  So, get on the bandwagon and start your forgiveness journey (without the dad divorce jokes!),


Takeaways:


-forgiveness is a personal journey and is ultimately for the benefit of the forgiver

-letting go of anger and resentment allows for personal growth and healing

-setting boundaries and practicing effective co-parenting are essential for a healthy post-divorce relationship.

-the impact of divorce on children should be minimized by shielding them from adult conflicts and providing a stable and supportive environment
