“I’m staying for the kids.” It’s a sentence spoken by countless mothers—driven by love, fear, and deep guilt.
But what if staying in a painful marriage teaches your children the wrong lessons about love?
In this episode of Resilient Hearts, Aparnaa Jadhav, Relationship Resilience Coach and author of Paradise Sucked, dives into one of the toughest decisions parents face: Do you stay in the marriage to protect your children… or choose happiness for both of you?
Here’s what we’ll explore: ✔️ Why children can feel the emotional tension—no matter how well you hide it ✔️ How your well-being is directly linked to your child’s emotional health ✔️ The powerful truth: staying may teach them that dysfunction is normal
🌿 You’re not a bad parent for wanting peace. In fact, choosing your happiness might be the best gift you can give your child.
