Episode Summary:

Divorce doesn't just end a marriage—it reshapes the emotional world of everyone involved, especially children. In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Linda’s Corner, host Linda Bjork welcomes Pamela Henry, an expert in early childhood education, family systems, and shared custody parenting. She’s also the author of Soul Custody: Sparing Children from Divorce, a transformative guide for families navigating the emotional terrain of separation.

Pamela shares her own story: a desperate desire to escape her marriage that eventually led to a profound revelation—she wasn’t really trying to escape her husband, but the pain of her own unresolved childhood trauma. As a survivor of sexual abuse by her father, Pamela unconsciously projected her confusion, hurt, and rejection onto her relationships—ultimately impacting her marriage and her children.

Now, Pamela helps others understand the deeper emotional roots that can influence the decision to divorce. She invites listeners to pause, reflect, and heal before making choices that carry lifelong consequences.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The often unseen emotional cost of divorce on children

  • How childhood trauma can shape adult relationships

  • Why healing yourself is key before trying to fix or escape a relationship

  • The importance of self-compassion, transparency, and owning our mistakes as parents

  • How to create a healthier future by confronting the past

This episode is a compassionate, thought-provoking invitation to approach relationships with deeper awareness and responsibility. If you're navigating a difficult relationship or healing from your past, this conversation is for you.
