Overview

Two Houses, One Lonely Broken Heart by Dr. Janet Olivares is a compassionate book that explores the experience of a ten-year-old child navigating life between two homes after their parents' separation or divorce. It reveals how children perceive adult behaviors, tone, routines, and communication in co-parenting situations, emphasizing that children need steady, calm, and consistent environments rather than perfect parents. The book highlights the emotional challenges children face, such as feeling caught in the middle, managing adult conflicts, and adapting to changing rules. It advocates for adults to prioritize the child's safety and emotional well-being by maintaining predictable routines, repairing mistakes with apologies, and communicating directly with each other rather than through children. The book also includes reflective prompts for adults and tools to promote healthier co-parenting, aiming to create stability and trust so children can feel safe, be themselves, and heal.
