The Divorced Dad Diaries

This week, I talked about Marriage Counselling and Therapy.  Should we go through it, and is it really worth it?  Could it save my marriage (and avoid a divorce)? Or is it just a wishful thinking? I've asked around and got some really interesting feedback on all this...  And what about you, what do you think? :)   Please feel free to reach me at TheDivorcedDadDiaries@gmail.com for any comments!

Let's try to settle this once and for all...  Is that true that Dads just want to have fun? :) In this episode, I decided to talk about the myth or reality that dads just want to have fun.  We're never serious, or never the serious parent in a relationship.  Is that true?  And how so?  Can we also be a strict that nowadays?  Why not both? Feel free to share your thoughts on this! Email:          ...

It is this time of year!  Holidays are almost here, and as much as it was never easy to plan when married, with family and friends, it can be even more challenging when you're divorced.

It's not something easy, but we can make it fun and st...

In this episode, I talk about being stuck in quarantine and not knowing what do do as far as Children custody.  I also discuss about a court case in Ontario about restricting children access during these times of self-isolation.

We get to a point where we need to have a talk.  THE talk.  And there is no turning back.  This is probably one of the toughest part of this journey. In this episode, I'll discuss how I got to this point, and specifically, what I did and how did I move forward.

We all think we know better about the roles and responsibilities in a marriage or relationship, and always envy our partner.  The grass seems to always be greener on the other side!   In this episode, I'll be discussing the roles and responsibilities we have, or should have, or maybe even shouldn't have!  The are often the cause of many discussions, disagreements and can definitely break a couple.

We all compare ourselves to others in different situations.  Going through separation or divorce is no different.   This episode is discussing some interesting facts and statistics found on the web about divorce, and seeing where we stand throughout those numbers.   Please feel free to reach out and follow me:   Email:                TheDivorcedDadDiaries@gmail.com Website:             http://www....
