Speaker 1: Hello, gorgeous. It's La La Kent. Welcome to Untraditionally Laala.
0:06
Speaker 1: Hey babe, Welcome to the.
0:07
Speaker 2: Bonus episode of Untraditionally Lala. I had a listener call
0:13
Speaker 2: in and leave a message that I think a lot
0:16
Speaker 2: of parents who have gone through a separation, divorce, custody situation.
0:21
Speaker 2: I'm going to insert it and then we're going to
0:23
Speaker 2: discuss and I can't wait.
0:25
Speaker 3: Hey Lala, my name is Jessica, and I just wanted
0:27
Speaker 3: to leave a message because your podcast has truly helped
0:30
Speaker 3: me through some of the hardest years of my life.
0:32
Speaker 3: I've been divorced for homost four years now, and so
0:35
Speaker 3: much of what you talk about resonates with me. Like you,
0:38
Speaker 3: I feel I'm not really co parenting. I'm parenting alongside
0:41
Speaker 3: someone who is completely apps and emotionally and impossible to
0:44
Speaker 3: communicate with. Every concern to bring up has immediately turned
0:47
Speaker 3: into me attacking him instead of us working together for
0:50
Speaker 3: the kids. I have an eight year old son and
0:52
Speaker 3: a five year old daughter. My daughter is finally at
0:54
Speaker 3: the age where she's able to express her feelings and
0:56
Speaker 3: it's heartbreaking. Exchanges are often full of tears, so I'm
1:00
Speaker 3: usually one comforting her, redirecting her, and helping her process
1:03
Speaker 3: or emotions. Our dad just sits there and says nothing.
1:06
Speaker 3: Shortly after we filed for divorce, he got another woman
1:09
Speaker 3: pregnant within a month. Since then, there has been so
1:11
Speaker 3: many cross boundaries. His girlfriend has inserted herself into situations
1:15
Speaker 3: at school, and my daughter often comes home telling me
1:18
Speaker 3: how mean she is to her. But when I try
1:21
Speaker 3: to address it, I'm told I'm causing problems or attacking him.
1:24
Speaker 3: Then suddenly my daughter comes back with new toys or
1:26
Speaker 3: gifts the next week, and it feels like they're trying
1:28
Speaker 3: to buy her affection instead of addressing the actual issues.
1:31
Speaker 3: There's so many days that I feel completely alone in
1:34
Speaker 3: this experience. Listening to you talk honestly about navigating narcissic behavior, heartbreak,
1:39
Speaker 3: motherhood boundaries, and finding yourself again as they you feel
1:42
Speaker 3: seen in a way that very few things have. Your
1:46
Speaker 3: podcast reminds me that I'm not crazy, I'm not alone,
1:48
Speaker 3: and there are so many other women walking through this too.
1:51
Speaker 3: I could ask you one question, it would be this,
1:53
Speaker 3: that's the biggest one of self care or self preservation
1:56
Speaker 3: you found that helps you keep you sane while dealing
1:58
Speaker 3: with high conflict coparent situation. Yeause some things, I feel
2:02
Speaker 3: like I'm carrying this emotional weight of everything and I'm
2:05
Speaker 3: still trying to figure out how to protect my peace.
2:07
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for being vulnerable, honest, and creating
2:10
Speaker 3: a space where women like me needs You'll understand. I
2:12
Speaker 3: appreciate you so much. Thanks.
2:15
Speaker 2: So this has so many different layers because at the
2:18
Speaker 2: very beginning, remember I'm five years out, so I have
2:23
Speaker 2: a thirty thousand foot view.
2:24
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of time.
2:25
Speaker 2: To process and discover what works what doesn't work. I've
2:30
Speaker 2: been in contact with many different family lawyers who have
2:35
Speaker 2: kind of given me the lay of the land, what's acceptable,
2:38
Speaker 2: what isn't. And it is one of the toughest roads
2:42
Speaker 2: to navigate co parenting. And there is a point in
2:46
Speaker 2: time where you have to throw your hands up and
2:47
Speaker 2: say this person is impossible to co parent with, and
2:52
Speaker 2: in order to protect my peace, I will parallel parent
2:55
Speaker 2: with them. Now, parallel parenting versus co parenting means that
2:58
Speaker 2: you do not necessarily work together. It's two very separate households.
3:03
Speaker 2: There's very little communication unless it's necessary. MYX and I
3:09
Speaker 2: pay for an app that we communicate through If you
3:12
Speaker 2: don't want to do that, you can you stick to
3:14
Speaker 2: just email because I know what's acceptable in court, right
3:20
Speaker 2: Like text messages don't really hold up. So that's why
3:22
Speaker 2: I went for the route of ofw which is our
3:25
Speaker 2: family wizard.
3:27
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is your piece.
3:29
Speaker 2: If you can learn to disconnect from this person and
3:33
Speaker 2: know that you are simply an energy source when you
3:36
Speaker 2: pop off, when you engage, when he gets you riled up,
3:40
Speaker 2: he has officially plugged in and now you're fucked. If
3:44
Speaker 2: it's not when you read his messages and he wants
3:47
Speaker 2: to call you a liar or you're causing problems, only
3:51
Speaker 2: acknowledge the things that are absolutely necessary. It's not your
3:56
Speaker 2: job to go back to I'm not a liar, I'm
4:03
Speaker 2: not just trying to cause problems. Stick to the facts
4:07
Speaker 2: about the child and leave the insults alone. Don't take
4:12
Speaker 2: them personally this person, and it's easier said than done.
4:16
Speaker 2: Like I remember, my entire household, including my mom and brother,
4:19
Speaker 2: were heavily affected when we were at the height of
4:22
Speaker 2: the custody situation. So the way that you conquer the
4:27
Speaker 2: peace is really being able to look at messages or
4:33
Speaker 2: communication with him and try to hone in on the
4:37
Speaker 2: things that actually matter, right, because I remember going back
4:41
Speaker 2: and forth on ofw just insanely and it was just
4:45
Speaker 2: such a fucking waste of time. I would have a
4:47
Speaker 2: more productive conversation with a brick wall. So leaving it
4:50
Speaker 2: just very simple, don't give him a lot, because again,
4:54
Speaker 2: you don't want him to be able to plug into you.
4:57
Speaker 2: With the girlfriend's situation. Oh, you're gonna.
5:01
Speaker 1: Remember this mom.
5:03
Speaker 2: When Ocean was little, she had really bad ezema and
5:09
Speaker 2: we were taking her off of like formula and things
5:13
Speaker 2: like that and implementing the whole milk. And I had
5:16
Speaker 2: sent him an ofw letting him know, like what we
5:20
Speaker 2: use at our house and what's best for her skin
5:23
Speaker 2: and all of these things. Well, the nanny reaches out
5:25
Speaker 2: to me and says that the new girlfriend had put
5:28
Speaker 2: together a grocery list, and she said that Ocean's skin
5:32
Speaker 2: needs to get used to other detergents and that she'll
5:38
Speaker 2: be fine drinking you know whatever other milk. She was
5:41
Speaker 2: basically saying, Ocean doesn't need those things, like this is
5:43
Speaker 2: what we're having and Ocean will get used to it.
5:45
Speaker 1: Ocean was very little when the nanny told me this.
5:49
Speaker 1: I did go buck wild, but I think you have.
5:51
Speaker 2: To really lay down the law of this is what
5:55
Speaker 2: is expected. When my child is over there, she is
5:59
Speaker 2: communicating with me, we have open dialogue. If I hear
6:03
Speaker 2: that she is being mistreated, I will have to take
6:07
Speaker 2: a different route and try to make it not threatening,
6:10
Speaker 2: because if you go to court, you don't want to threaten.
6:11
Speaker 2: I mean, I've learned a lot since the beginning of
6:14
Speaker 2: my custody situation, but really, chat GBT can to definitely
6:19
Speaker 2: help you out, Like this is what I want to say.
6:22
Speaker 2: Put it in legal terms, and just make sure that
6:26
Speaker 2: you continue having open dialogue and letting your child.
6:30
Speaker 1: Know that like you're safe at this house.
6:32
Speaker 2: She's gonna get older and kids clock when someone's trying
6:35
Speaker 2: to buy their love, like you don't have to tell
6:36
Speaker 2: them their love is being bought. They learn the difference
6:39
Speaker 2: between someone spending time with them and being nice and
6:42
Speaker 2: someone buying them shit and disappearing.
6:44
Speaker 1: She's going to get used to that.
6:46
Speaker 2: So when I was dealing at the very beginning with
6:49
Speaker 2: all of this, my I really leaned deep into my
6:54
Speaker 2: faith because I knew that what was going on was
6:56
Speaker 2: way bigger than me. And once you realize you don't
7:03
Speaker 2: have control over something, it is very freeing because just
7:08
Speaker 2: people by nature, especially when it comes to the most
7:10
Speaker 2: vulnerable piece of you, which is your heart also known
7:13
Speaker 2: as your children, are involved, it's hard to not have
7:17
Speaker 2: full control. So I would say the Serenity prayer over
7:23
Speaker 2: and over and over again, and I would as I
7:26
Speaker 2: would say it, which for those of you who don't
7:28
Speaker 2: know what it is, it's God, grant me the serenity
7:30
Speaker 2: to accept the things I cannot change. And then I
7:32
Speaker 2: would list the things I couldn't change, the courage to
7:35
Speaker 2: change the things I can what I can change, I
7:37
Speaker 2: would list them off, and the wisdom to know the difference,
7:40
Speaker 2: what is the difference between the two, and I would
7:42
Speaker 2: just loop on that over and over again. Then I
7:47
Speaker 2: would take sage and listen to this song by Lauren Daegel,
7:54
Speaker 2: which is trust in You, and it would talk about
7:58
Speaker 2: when you're not moving the mountain, that I need you
8:00
Speaker 2: to move, when you won't part the waters, and basically
8:04
Speaker 2: saying like I'm going to trust in your plan.
8:06
Speaker 1: So I would do that.
8:07
Speaker 2: I staged and then I light my Palo Santo and
8:11
Speaker 2: I would do it in the apartment bathroom and I
8:13
Speaker 2: would be sobbing during the Laurendego one, and then I'd
8:17
Speaker 2: turn on Break My Soul by Beyonce and Palo Santo.
8:22
Speaker 1: And I'm just look in the mirror and aren't.
8:23
Speaker 4: You will not bring my.
8:26
Speaker 3: Can?
8:26
Speaker 5: I also bring up one song that I feel like
8:29
Speaker 5: gave you a shitload of power.
8:31
Speaker 4: What one?
8:32
Speaker 5: I think it's Taylor Swift, but it's strong enough to
8:36
Speaker 5: kill a man. That when you were going through your
8:39
Speaker 5: worst times. I remember being in the range Rover. That's
8:43
Speaker 5: how long ago this was, yeah, and you turning that
8:45
Speaker 5: on and I would see a change in your demeanor
8:49
Speaker 5: like you felt like you were you were on your back,
8:52
Speaker 5: and right when that song came on, you would just
8:55
Speaker 5: see you. You would even like get up in the
8:56
Speaker 5: car and lean forward. I was like, Oh, this bitch
8:58
Speaker 5: is up, she's ready to fight that. So that song,
9:01
Speaker 5: I will say, just for me, turned you around to
9:05
Speaker 5: cat ice, sharp enough to kill a man. Whatever that
9:08
Speaker 5: one is that I feel like turned you into a beast.
9:13
Speaker 1: Oh and then when they talk about the egg wife.
9:17
Speaker 4: That you're thickest thieves.
9:18
Speaker 2: Now the thieves, she looks so pretty, Oh so good.
9:25
Speaker 4: No, I remember that really being a turnaround song for you.
9:28
Speaker 2: Yes, I think having a really good, like nighttime routine
9:33
Speaker 2: and before you go to bed, I highly recommend too
9:35
Speaker 2: magnesium to Hilarian root, baby yourself, give yourself a facial.
9:42
Speaker 2: Remember this is not your forever. Remember that you are powerful.
9:45
Speaker 2: And I know that this sounds so cheesy and so corny,
9:48
Speaker 2: but I would have to sit and look at myself
9:50
Speaker 2: in the mirror and watch myself sobbing and looking so
9:53
Speaker 2: broken and then having to say, now it's time to
9:56
Speaker 2: like put your fucking war paint on, because you're not
9:59
Speaker 2: gonna to take me out when it comes to my.
10:01
Speaker 1: Babies, like I will fuck your shit out.
10:05
Speaker 2: And you have to get into that mindset and find
10:07
Speaker 2: your good song, say that serenity, prayer, find whatever higher power.
10:10
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's a tree outside, you find
10:13
Speaker 2: it and you go. You're gonna be my saving grace
10:16
Speaker 2: when I'm feeling weak, I'm gonna need you to take
10:18
Speaker 2: over and be there to support me. And it changes
10:22
Speaker 2: everything I'm telling you without and I would recommend on
10:27
Speaker 2: hard days, don't drink. I'm not telling anyone to get sober.
10:31
Speaker 2: You're having a hard time and you're like, I need
10:33
Speaker 2: a cocktail. It makes everything so much worse. It heightens
10:37
Speaker 2: every emotion and then the next day get ready to
10:40
Speaker 2: want to drive your car off a cliff.
10:41
Speaker 4: YEA highly recommend.
10:43
Speaker 2: On the days that are good, crack open the wine,
10:46
Speaker 2: have a good time.
10:47
Speaker 5: The bad days alcohol, yes, get the placebo if you need.
10:53
Speaker 1: That is my advice.
11:08
Speaker 2: I think remembering nothing is forever. The bad times pass,
11:14
Speaker 2: but the good times also passed. So when you have
11:16
Speaker 2: the good days, I just relish in them and be grateful.
11:21
Speaker 1: Practice gratitude.
11:22
Speaker 2: When when you're in the gutter and you're like I am,
11:24
Speaker 2: at my wits end, try to think of the things
11:28
Speaker 2: that are going right in your life. And I think
11:29
Speaker 2: the biggest one is focusing on health with everything that
11:32
Speaker 2: my mom's been going through.
11:34
Speaker 1: Knowing that when everyone around you is healthy, you have
11:40
Speaker 1: life by the balls. Everything else is going to work
11:42
Speaker 1: itself out.
11:44
Speaker 2: And then I think the most one of the most
11:47
Speaker 2: important things too is finding your support system. I was
11:51
Speaker 2: fortunate enough to have my mom quit her job, leave
11:56
Speaker 2: her whole life behind, move out to be with me
11:59
Speaker 2: and watch ocean while also getting me on my feet
12:03
Speaker 2: and finding my new normal, which I love you for that, Mom.
12:07
Speaker 2: And then Easton followed shortly after, and I just had
12:10
Speaker 2: like I had my pod. That's for those of you
12:14
Speaker 2: who haven't watched vander Pump Rules, like my pod. I
12:16
Speaker 2: think of us as like orcas. No one leaves the pod,
12:18
Speaker 2: you just add to the pod. So if you don't
12:21
Speaker 2: have the luxury of being near family, find your close
12:25
Speaker 2: circle who you're safe with, and you can just pass
12:29
Speaker 2: the rock to. Because you guys saved me in so
12:33
Speaker 2: many of those moments.
12:36
Speaker 4: We're happy we could be available and do that. You
12:40
Speaker 4: were very strong. I hope you know that.
12:42
Speaker 1: I felt like I was on autopilot. I didn't even
12:44
Speaker 1: know how I was getting anything done.
12:46
Speaker 4: The autopilot. Hey, whatever you gotta do to get through
12:49
Speaker 4: I don't fucking care. Yeah you did it.
12:51
Speaker 2: I season for everybody else in the same thing, if
12:55
Speaker 2: you've got a fucking I like autopilot.
12:57
Speaker 4: Like, as long as you get through it, there's no
12:58
Speaker 4: right or wrong way.
12:59
Speaker 1: I agree with you get through it.
13:02
Speaker 3: Ye.
13:03
Speaker 1: Season ten of vander Pump Rules.
13:05
Speaker 2: I think I'm so fond of it because I feel
13:07
Speaker 2: like it quite literally saved my soul. Like I was
13:11
Speaker 2: in such a dark place and it gave me a
13:15
Speaker 2: sense of normalcy and somewhere to be and somewhere where
13:20
Speaker 2: I could share my feelings and what I was going
13:22
Speaker 2: through and my disdain for somebody, and I felt very
13:25
Speaker 2: heard and.
13:27
Speaker 1: Just filming all of that season.
13:30
Speaker 5: No, what a beautiful thing to feel like you can
13:33
Speaker 5: do that, Like they made you feel.
13:35
Speaker 1: Comfortable, Yeah, I felt like going home.
13:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's beautiful.
13:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
13:42
Speaker 1: And then it was a place where other people were
13:44
Speaker 1: going through a lot too, so you it took you
13:47
Speaker 1: away from it took you out of self and made
13:51
Speaker 1: you focus on other people's hard times, and that articipate
13:54
Speaker 1: in that conversation.
13:55
Speaker 5: That also being said, Yeah, taking yourself out of self
13:58
Speaker 5: is like a huge thing that that you know, sobriety
14:01
Speaker 5: and AA has brought me because there's times where like
14:04
Speaker 5: I am thinking about myself, I'll make a call to
14:08
Speaker 5: not even my sponsor, just to somebody in the like community,
14:12
Speaker 5: and I'll just be like, how are you, and then
14:14
Speaker 5: they tell me like little things that have happened to them,
14:16
Speaker 5: and then I'm out of self and then by the
14:18
Speaker 5: time you hang up, you're like, I was worried.
14:20
Speaker 4: About my shit, okay, And it just helps. Yeah.
14:25
Speaker 2: I love that saying so much. My mom just said,
14:28
Speaker 2: when you lose yourself, you find yourself. You told me
14:30
Speaker 2: that at a really young age and that always stuck
14:32
Speaker 2: with me.
14:33
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start running with that one. I'm gonna lose
14:36
Speaker 5: everything I know, I'll find it.
14:38
Speaker 2: And you're just gonna find who you are. But it
14:42
Speaker 2: does I mean custody and co parenting situations. I think
14:47
Speaker 2: it's one of the most difficult because your children are
14:50
Speaker 2: at play and you have zero control. And then when
14:55
Speaker 2: you enter the family court system. That's why I try
14:58
Speaker 2: to tell people this when they think, think you go
15:01
Speaker 2: into that system and everything's just based off of logic,
15:07
Speaker 2: I'm like, you need to wake up very quickly because
15:11
Speaker 2: it is scary in there and very cruel. And if
15:14
Speaker 2: you don't come correct with zero, you have to disassociate
15:18
Speaker 2: and disconnect from your own child. You have to go
15:24
Speaker 2: in there and talk about them like your heart is
15:27
Speaker 2: not involved at all, or else you're looked at as
15:33
Speaker 2: scorned and unhinged and emotional and you're slapped on the
15:37
Speaker 2: wrist if you if you care in that way, in
15:41
Speaker 2: an emotional because you're supposed to care for your child
15:44
Speaker 2: in those ways.
15:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you when you get into court, you can't. Okay, Yeah,
15:48
Speaker 5: but it's and it's true, Like I've seen you go
15:50
Speaker 5: through it and it is. So it's like the parent
15:52
Speaker 5: that you're supposed to be you are penalized for in court.
15:58
Speaker 2: M Yeah, you have to be very careful about what
16:02
Speaker 2: you say and how you say it. And I also
16:07
Speaker 2: it's a tough pill to swallow when you think there's
16:09
Speaker 2: some person sitting in a chair that's going to decide
16:12
Speaker 2: what is best for your child when they don't even
16:14
Speaker 2: know what their face looks like, they don't even know
16:15
Speaker 2: their name, you're a case.
16:17
Speaker 1: No, not only that best for my child.
16:21
Speaker 4: They don't know you, they don't know the dad, they
16:23
Speaker 4: don't know anything.
16:24
Speaker 5: They're literally seeing what's in front of them and making
16:26
Speaker 5: a hard guess. And to me, that needs to be changed. Yeah,
16:32
Speaker 5: we have what isn't it CP CPS. Yeah, it's like, okay,
16:37
Speaker 5: if we're going into the family court, why can't we
16:39
Speaker 5: have CPS coming and dissecting each home and physically seeing
16:44
Speaker 5: what is best for the kid because.
16:46
Speaker 2: There's so many people, and I learned in family court
16:50
Speaker 2: unless there is blood on the ground, I'm like, so
16:54
Speaker 2: we're not trying to prevent anything.
16:56
Speaker 1: No, you want to catch after it's done.
17:01
Speaker 4: Trauma. It's a really fucked.
17:03
Speaker 2: Up system, and you have to be strategic and people
17:06
Speaker 2: have to be knowledgeable. And I tell people all the time,
17:08
Speaker 2: you got to be and I am a broken record,
17:11
Speaker 2: but you have to be so careful about how you
17:13
Speaker 2: who you have children with.
17:15
Speaker 1: I wasn't willing to take the risk.
17:16
Speaker 2: Again.
17:17
Speaker 1: I was way too fucking scared.
17:19
