In this episode, we are going to talk about WHY we need to talk about divorce, custody issues, and family trauma. We need to lock arms, especially if you are struggling through a divorce or high-conflict custody battle. The Aftermath hosts, Kindra Riber and Mick Smith talk about their challenging situations. They are making their pain their purpose.
Mick Smith, the author of Burning America, was heartbroken and confused when his wife started playing a custody game with him. His story, is one of the challenges, fighting the courts and proving that his child needed the love and guidance of both parents.
Kindra Riber, a legislative advocate has fought for her children for over 3 years- amounting in over $120,000 of debt. She continues to fight for her sons and is taking this monumental test and making it her testimony. In fact, she was falsely accused of child abuse and continues to navigate her way through legal woes.
Both Riber and Smith understand the mental tolls it is taking on families--and especially the children. It is important that we voice our truth and work with legislative reformers to make a difference in the family courts. It is important that all competent parents have free access to their children for better development.
The hate, sorrow, and frustration that results from a high-conflict divorce or separation hurts our children the most. The hosts are fighting the battle to bring justice to broken families and championing for hurt children. You will understand the difference between custody and visitation and why you need to keep fighting! You are not alone!
