Emotional Connection
You’re not alone. High-conflict divorce is overwhelming—and the ones who suffer most are the children. When parents argue, criticize, or compete for loyalty, kids can feel anxious, torn, or even shut down emotionally. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. With the right tools, you can calm the storm, reconnect with your child, and co-parent more peacefully—even when your ex refuses to cooperate.
