Dave Moravec: Finding Love & Maintaining Relationships with Your Adult Children After Divorce

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

Dave Moravec had been married for 33 years when he decided to divorce. His children were adults at that time, but they each had very distinct opinions about - and reactions to - his divorce from their mother.
Dave describes how he came to his decision through therapy, separation, and intense introspection. He also explains the challenges he faced in navigating a divorce with adult children - two of whom lived at a distance and one who lived in the family home.
Dave described how he navigated "being the bad guy who broke up the family." He also explained the steps he took to try to repair and maintain relationships with each of his children throughout the divorce process - even when his kids wouldn't talk to him.
If you or anyone you know is afraid to get a divorce because you're worried about what will happen to your relationships with your adult children, this episode should absolutely be on your "must listen to" list!
