Episode Description

Tuesday evening. Your seven-year-old is in the bath. You're sitting on the closed lid of the toilet, scrolling through your phone, half-listening. She's been washing her hair without saying anything for a while. Then, without looking at you, she says it. Why aren't you and Daddy together anymore?

In this episode of CoParentSpace we get practical about when your child asks why, what actually helps for separated and divorced parents, and why — grounded in attachment science and clinical research.

What we cover:
• Why this question is so hard
• The principle, restated
• The pattern of the question
• Age by age
• The version that's true and unflattering
• When the question lands and you're not ready

Made for parents raising children across two homes. Best for: All ages.
