Healing Parent & Child Relationships as a Single Parent

Within this program, you will open two canvas documents that explore the many ways trauma can affect both you and your children, whether it comes from the end of a relationship, a divorce, or another painful experience. One of the hardest parts of this journey is rebuilding that bond when you and your children are hurting. It can feel impossible at times, and most of us don’t know where to start when we’re already at our lowest. I created this program because I’ve lived it. I ended a 10-year relationship, a year and a half of marriage, when my son was only four and my daughter was six months old. I became a single mum while managing a chronic illness, and later entered two volatile relationships marked by conflict and emotional pain. I know firsthand how much these experiences can hurt, not only us as parents, but our children too. When my last relationship ended, my children and I lost everything and became homeless and had to live in a hotel . That moment broke us, but it also became the beginning of our healing journey. Since the end of 2022, we’ve been slowly rebuilding, step by step. And only now can I truly see the positive changes emerging. My children and I are forming a stronger, more honest relationship than ever before, one built on patience, forgiveness, and learning together. This journey hasn’t been easy. There have been tears, raised voices, misunderstandings, and moments of deep guilt. But there have also been apologies, open conversations, and real growth. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, or even in a few months or years. It takes time. Sometimes our children need someone to blame, and that person is us. That’s painful, but with patience and trust, things do begin to change. I’ve also included a guided meditation to help you release guilt, something every parent carries. Along with that, you’ll find a short audio message from me, sharing more about my journey and offering encouragement. My hope is that you feel inspired to keep going.
