Growing Up Divorced: A Teen’s Honest Take on Divorce, Two Homes, and Blending Families

Growing Up Divorced: A Teen’s Honest Take on Divorce, Two Homes, and Blending Families

In this episode, Erica Bennett sits down with her son Owen for an honest conversation about growing up between two homes, adapting to constant change, and what actually helped him feel safe and supported.


Owen shares what divorce feels like from a child’s point of view years later.


Together, they also explore the challenges of switching households, blending families, and why kids often need calm, connection, and simple reassurance more than parents realize.


In this episode, we will explore:

  • How Owen experienced divorce from a child’s perspective
  • Why switching between households was one of the hardest parts
  • How divorce helped Owen become more adaptable and independent
  • What Erica did that helped him feel supported
  • Why parental fear can affect kids more than we realize
  • The role of keepsakes and comfort items during transitions
  • What blending families felt like from Owen’s side
  • Why slow introductions to new partners matter
  • How extended family dynamics can add pressure
  • What parents can do to create more emotional safety for their kids
