Episode Synopsis
Doug takes on a difficult mailbag question facing many parents: whether it is better for children to divorce or endure a home marked by emotional abuse. He also explores how parenting styles can unintentionally foster narcissism in children. Listener questions and comments: Sandra – I ended a 40-year marriage after realizing staying caused psychological harm to my children. Was leaving the right choice for their long-term well-being? (18:27) Jeanie – Would legal separation be a better option for children, and how should parents explain a father’s behavior without destroying the child’s image of him? (23:19) Rose – After prayer and a silent retreat, I felt called to divorce to protect my children from being emotionally destroyed. How do we know when leaving is the right decision?
