The silence of the house on the first night the kids aren't there. The urge to overcompensate by buying them gifts. The crushing feeling of being a "visitor" in your own children's lives.

In this solo episode I discuss the need for us to repeat patterns and recreate the templates of our childhood.
"I’m 40+, divorced, and starting over. Is this it?"
