Divorce can feel like a storm that rolls in fast—no forecast, no shelter, no time to prepare. One day, you're a husband, a full-time father, a provider with a plan.

When I tell a dad going through divorce to stay strong, I’m not throwing him a vague motivational cliché. I’m giving him a call to arms—a reminder of what strength looks like when your world is cracking open, when your identity as a father is getting reshaped by custody schedules, courtrooms, and the quiet ache of an empty house.

Strength during divorce doesn’t look like keeping a stiff upper lip and pretending everything’s fine. It’s not about powering through without feeling anything. Real strength, in this context, is much messier, more grounded, and...

Feeling overwhelmed by divorce? You're not alone. The journey through divorce as a dad presents unique challenges that can leave even the most confident men feeling lost and uncertain about the future.

Divorce coaching has emerged as a crucial resource for fathers navigating this difficult transition. While attorneys focus solely on legal matters, therapists on emotional healing, and financial advisors on money concerns, a divorce coach provides the comprehensive guidance needed to integrate these perspectives into a cohesive strategy tailored to your specific situation.

Modern feminism has moved far beyond equality. Today, it’s about control — and nowhere is that more obvious than in the aftermath of divorce. In custody courts, in legal systems, and in the culture itself, divorced fathers are being systematically pushed aside, not because they’ve failed their children, but because they don’t fit the feminist-approved narrative of what a post-divorce family should look like.

If you’re a father going through divorce, or already fighting to stay in your child’s life, you’ve felt this.

Every move you make is twisted through a lens designe...

If you're a divorced or divorcing dad, the idea of a "parental coordinator" (PC) or "decision maker" (DM) might feel like another loss of control. Courts sometimes assign one when parents are high-conflict or consistently stuck on big issues. It's normal to feel suspicious or defensive. But like everything in divorce, there's a mix of positives and negatives you need to know — with real-life examples to make it clear.

Divorce can feel like your life is spinning out of control—and in many ways, it is. You’re not just splitting up a relationship. You’re restructuring your family, finances, home life, and daily routines. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos, trying to manage everything, fix everything, and control the uncontrollable. But here’s the truth: mastering the art of losing control is how you survive this. And, paradoxically, it’s how you gain real control where it counts.
