When divorce hits, the noise gets loud—court dates, shifting routines, hard conversations, and a flood of emotions that seem to steer the day. We walk through a clear, practical path rooted in Stoicism that helps you steady the wheel: control what you can, accept what you can’t, and choose your response with intention. Instead of numbing out, we show how to use ancient tools to build very modern resilience and model strength your kids can trust.

A thirteen-year-old can now decide who sees their records in many states, and too often that means dad gets locked out. We pull back the curtain on how policy, portals, and a feelings-first mindset are reshaping family dynamics in clinics, counseling rooms, and courtrooms—and why active father involvement remains one of the strongest predictors of a child’s long-term wellbeing.

Some stories punch through the fog. Palmer’s does. He grew up inside a decade of high-conflict divorce, became the “targeted child” of severe alienation, and reached the edge of despair—then found a way back. Today he sits across from tweens and teens as a therapist, turning hard-won insight into practical tools that help kids feel safe, seen, and strong even when the adults around them are at war.

We dig into the subtle ways alienation teaches kids it’s unsafe to love both parents and the everyday moves that reverse it. Palmer shows how to respond when your child repeats a hostile script, how to validate feelings without validating lies, and how to use calm curiosity to keep the door open: “Tell me more. Where did you hear that? What do you think?” We talk about the “long game” of trust, why one attuned parent can buffer long-term harm, and how steady presence beats the most artful parenting plan. You’ll hear research that matters—father involvement predicting outcomes, safe-base parenting supporting brain development—and simple practices you can use this week.

Boundaries don’t make you a tyrant—they make your home feel safe. We dig into what authoritative parenting really looks like for divorced dads: steady warmth, clear limits, and consequences that teach instead of punish. Drawing on evidence from parenting science and decades of outcomes research, we unpack the crucial differences between authoritative and authoritarian styles, why permissiveness backfires even when it feels compassionate, and how dads can hold the line without losing the relationship.

In this powerful conversation, Robert Garza reveals how his 16-year custody battle educated him about the dangerous loopholes in our family court system—and more importantly, how to fix them. He walks us through his revolutionary "Time Taken, Time Back" bill, which ensures parents automatically receive makeup time when false allegations are disproven. This simple yet powerful concept has already passed unanimously in Texas and North Dakota, protecting millions of families from one of the most common forms of custody manipulation.
