When your life is chaos and the court system feels stacked against you, how do you stay strong for your kids — and yourself?

Whether you’re battling family court or just trying to hold it together behind the scenes, this one’s for you.

In today’s video, I respond to a heartfelt viewer comment about trying to stay strong while going through hell — whether it’s to protect yourself in court or to be a stable presence for your kids.
