My Vulnerable Story Of How I Overcame Fear

Divorce Impact

Dean Graziosi opens up about the emotional toll of divorce, particularly on children. He shares that both he and his ex-wife came from divorced families, which made them hesitant to separate despite knowing their relationship was over a decade ago. This fear of repeating the past and potentially harming their children kept them in a stagnant relationship.

My ex and I knew our relationship was over probably ten years ago. We really did. But she came from divorce. I did. Neither one of us worked on us enough. We worked on being kick ass parents, and we just stayed. Cause we were both so afraid of what would happen to our children, because, again, we came from divorce, right?
