#071: My Parents’ Divorce Made Me a Child-Sized Old Soul | Professor Daniel Drain

Growing up too fast is a common experience for children of divorce. You’re often called upon to take on responsibilities that should never be yours. As a result, you may become a serious, mature person — even if you’re still a kid.

That’s what happened to our guest today, which he explains in this episode. In addition, we discuss:

• A surprising thing that helped him heal and begin to break the cycle of dysfunction and divorce in his own life
• How his parents are also children of divorce, which naturally played a role in how they repeat that cycle in their own marriage
• What marriage is meant to be and why a false idea of freedom greatly hinders your ability to build lasting love
