#417 My Trans Co-Parent Took It Too Far

What do you do when your co-parent makes a life-altering decision — and your child is caught in the middle?
In this powerful episode, Devin reads an emotional email from a listener whose ex — now identifying as a transgender woman — has made decisions about their 8-year-old son without mutual agreement. As tensions rise and trust breaks down, the listener turns to the courts and legal counsel for help. But beneath the anger and confusion is a deeper question: how do you protect your child when the other parent stops listening?

💥 This episode is raw, real, and deeply human — exploring themes of identity, co-parenting, trust, emotional manipulation, and protecting your child’s voice when things get complicated.
