Balancing Act: Prioritizing Mental Health and Children's Needs During Divorce

One of the most important takeaways from my conversation with Family Law Attorney Michele Locke on this episode of Roaming with Restless Women is her commitment to prioritizing the well-being of children in divorce cases.

Drawing from her own experiences navigating her parents' divorce, Michele stresses that children are innocent bystanders who shouldn't bear the brunt of parental conflict. She works tirelessly to create agreements that minimize children's exposure to conflict, ensuring they can enjoy their childhood without adult burdens. It's a powerful reminder that in the turmoil of divorce, the kids should always come first.

We also got to share about the importance of self-care and mental health during divorce. Michele candidly shared her own health struggles during and after her divorce and emphasized that seeking mental health support during such challenging times isn't a sign of weakness but a mark of strength.

In a world where the stigma around mental health is still prevalent, especially in the context of divorce, Michele's perspective is a breath of fresh air. Remember, it's crucial to prioritize your own well-being to be the best parent and individual you can be.
