Dad Starting Over · Jun 20, 2025 · 14m

In this Dear DSO episode, we tackle Holden’s powerful story:

✅ A 22-year marriage, wrecked by infidelity

✅ A toxic ex dragging their adult kids down

✅ A father who rebuilt his life, career, and confidence — but still worries about his boys

I break down what happens long-term when kids get stuck in a toxic home and what (if anything) you, as the healthier parent, can realistically do to help.
