Course Reviews

I was required to take this class since I am filing for custody- though I am not going through a divorce- been a single mom since day one- that being said- I still found relevant information in the course. It definitely brought some interesting things up for me to reflect on in past relationships. The parts about how ‘people will destroy their lives over being right’ really stuck out. And I needed to hear that ‘witholding’ can be the death of relationships-I’ve definitely been guilty of that. Thank you for the information.

This class really helps to give you skills on. How to deal with conflict and the stories we tell ourselves.

I really learned alot about the different perspectives and ways to think about different views and opinions.

This course had a lot of helpful information in it. I hope my ex- takes the same class so we can do the work together!!

Great insights and lots of valuable tools that can hopefully be put into place.

This has really opened my eyes and see things in a whole new way. I really wish I had seen this when I was married because some things I could have used and maybe the outcome wouldn’t have been divorced.

I came to an understanding that I needed to take my own actions into account and not just putting it all on the other side and that I need to forgive and grow so that my child can have the best life with both of us.

Kids notice more than you think, but not always what you think . They don’t need a flawless agreement, they need predictability, respect and to feel like they are not caught in the middle.

Very helpful for future co-parenting

There were a lot of great challenges and exercises that helped me start switching my internal narrative to addressing what I can do to make things better for my kids and myself. Forgiveness isn’t about cutting the other person slack, it is about moving on and doing whats best for everyone.

The biggest thing that I discovered throughout this course is that I need to forgive myself for all of the ways that my marriage failed. I also discovered that I need to be more subjective in the future with my “ideas” vs. reality of the relationship. As well as what I have learned about setting boundaries and then being accountable to those boundaries as well as communicating that with others. I have found that I will easily overlook areas that are against my best wishes or boundaries for the ideas of what “could be.” Looking back and reassessing my marriage, I have found that it was likely doomed from the beginning as we were both looking for very different things and we didn’t have a strong firm foundation of turning toward each other when troubles arose.

The effects of withholding and how I can create a healthy dynamic going forward

One of the hardest parts of separation is feeling guilty and confused as to what happened. A relationship takes two, and it always felt like blame needed to be placed. Once I understood that I can take responsibility for my part in the dynamic of our relationship without feeling a heavy weight of guilt due to blame, and that it actually empowered me with a sense of control to change or fix the situation. I am grateful for this and feel like I could finally put into words my feelings of guilt and shame. Now I feel like I can make a difference in my situation.

It feels like this class is a little bit blamed the victim. In some cases I get how everyone has some part to be wrong. In like in my own divorce, I got married for the wrong purposes. I wanted to have kids with somebody, and I didn’t really care who it was. And then coming to putting up with her for 11 years ended up being what caused me to just give up on the relationship.

So i do belive it is very helpful, thought it is out dated for the time we are currently in. But a vast majority of what was discussed is very accuate through the seperation process. Alot of what of what discussed is very helpful amd in site full. Im glad to have taken this class and learned everything they had to say about it.

Great Course

It’s so important for even separated families to be unified. I think that this course gives great tools and methods to make that happen.

Wish I had these tools with my first divorce and this was a good course for reflection, perspective, forgiveness.

Accepting their flaws and the things I stepped over realize that prison or in patient drug treatment would help her tremendously. I don’t care for the way her boyfriend is abusive and does drugs. When the chips case is over these tools will come in handy for open communication and ground rules. Hopefully she can have unsupervised visits after treatment just hope she doesn’t get suicidal with my son around again. She is a good person just needs professional help, support and clean friends. Looking forward to seeing her getting better with her health problems and addiction. My adult girl’s have pointed out my flaws so I can work on them for a better relationship with my son just turned 4. Smart like his mom. Thanks guys for sharing your experience and guidance 🙏🏽.

I learnt how we can look at what is best for the children during the divorce

Growing up with parents divorced this course reinforced the the importance of never denigrating your former partner and the importance of communication for the the betterment of your child. It was a good display of coparenting and prioritizing your child above yoursel
