Episode Description

You've met someone. It's been a few weeks. You feel something you haven't felt in a long time, possibly years. You're sleeping better. You're laughing at things again. The horizon has light in it for the first time since the separation.

In this episode of CoParentSpace we get practical about the 6-month rule: Why timing matters more than feeling ready — what actually helps for separated and divorced parents, and why — grounded in attachment science and clinical research.

What we cover:
• What's actually at stake
• Why 6 months
• Why the *I feel ready* test isn't the right test
• What the conservative approach looks like in practice
• What about when 6 months is up
• The hardest version
