Is your child showing the same frustrating behaviors that once ended your marriage? You’re not alone—and no, you're not a bad mom for being triggered by it.
In this powerful solo episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, host Erica breaks down the emotional chaos that can happen when your child starts to mirror your ex—especially the toxic traits that contributed to your divorce.
🧠 Learn how to:
- Recognize nervous system triggers (and why your body reacts this way)
- Break generational patterns without blaming your child
- Respond with calm instead of control
- Rewire your own responses and support your child in developing healthier behaviors
Whether you’re newly divorced or years out, these tools will help you create a safe space—for you and your child. This is the healing work. The breaking-free work. The “you’re not crazy” kind of work.
