This was actually a really helpful course. It was great to hear the perspectives and experiences of other ex-couples. I didn’t think I was actually going to gain much from this course but I was completely wrong. Thank you to whoever the director/organizer of this course is! I learned how to co-parent. This course has really learned me a lot. I feel this course creates space for understanding, forgiveness and a way forward. It also provides skills and knowledge to be a healthy individual and parent. I appreciate the approach of taking extreme responsibility for your actions and for failing to act by withholding from the other person. This course helped me take an honest look at myself and to understand how important it is to forgive, accept the other person, and take responsibility for the past and going forward. These lessons are vital in learning about myself and also ensuring my kids know they are highly valued and loved. These skills and choices show them how to take the high road of choosing to do hard things that will pay off in the end. Picked up a lot of useful knowledge I couldn’t believe I wasn’t catching onto before. Wonderful coarse! I think that taking a step back and realizing the life’s that are effected. My children are going through a whole new life and it’s my responsibility to make sure I give them the life they deserve. Going thru all the process on separating with kids it’s very hard. It is very important to keep communication, so that the kids don’t see parents always arguing. Forgivness. It’s important not be mad at each other so we can be the best parents for our children. As a mom of 5 going through divorce, there were a lot of good resources in this class, along with a lot of questions that made me think and look at things from a different perspective. It carried much more weight since the leaders of the course have not only lived it but also overcome so many obstacles through their journey to get to a position to be able to teach from their lessons. I managed my credibility poorly by “withholding” about 60% of my feelings towards whatever circumstance was happening. What is worse is I withheld about 85% of my feelings about myself from the start of our relationship. I always asked “do you even know me, who I am”? When I saw the segment on witholding my mind flooded with snapshots of poor judgment, communication, and vulnerability. I never would have learned this about myself and therefore will have this burned into my soul. My review is that I needed this and I wish I would have watched videos like this with Chelsea instead of therapy. These trainings have helped me a lot when it comes to learning how to coparent since it’s my first time doing this. This course helped me to open my eyes and take a look at my own actions and words, and then how they will affect the outcome of my divorce and in turn, the effect that it has on our children. Overall this was an eye opener. I’ve held onto so much anger and resentment that I wasn’t able to see how much I played into the divorce. This was a great tool to help me to start a better relationship with myself and ex spouse and our children. this is the most life altering for the children and they are my purpose in life so I will stand by Johnna and make decisions that have my kids first. We are basically starting over a new relationship as coparents and need to not push buttons or be negative as it will be more impactful with kids in two different households This was some pretty solid content, it did make me think about my divorce in a different light. I thought this course taught me to be less angry and to see from the spouses point of view. It taught me to accept it was both our responsibility to accept blame and the actual reasons our marriage failed. I learned to take responsibility for my part in the failed marriage. That it only hurts the kids if we cant figure out how to get along. I have to say, listening to everything really opened my eyes to a lot. I had to sit and think about what I did wrong in this marriage and my biggest area that I’m learning is not having boundaries and loving too much. I never had consequences for things that he did wrong. I continued to allow him to continually cheat on me. Also, I wanted to communicate, but never had the chance to, so I know that I let things slide. I forgave a long time ago and I don’t hold any grudges. I take it as a lesson learned and that God separated us for a reason I pray and hope that one day he’ll see things but that’s not mine to take on that’s his responsibilities. The hardest part of the whole thing was looking at the marriage from where it was in the beginning to where it ended. It’s still painful to this day, but I’ve learned to accept and know that I will be OK and I learned to love myself throughout the process . All I can do is grow and learn to be a better parent each day thank you so much for the resources as well. It was very helpful. in a sense learning how much i truly ignored. With an open mind this is very powerful instruction and education.Justin's experience

Great course
Withholding was the start of this path to separation. Taking responsibility is key going forward. The goals going forward have to be together, collectively positive and for the kids best interest
