Co-parenting Dynamics and Family Estrangement

Family. A complex topic. From birth to adulthood, the definition of family — and the relationships therein — are constantly changing. In this episode, we take a look at family dynamics. How these bonds are built and broken, how they ebb and flow, and how we all have the power to shape what they look like.
