Big Love from Little Ones: A Family Talk with My 10-Year-Old Plus Son
What does it really feel like to grow up in a blended family?
In this special episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, we sit down with Abraham—affectionately known as the “nosy kid”—to explore the real, unfiltered emotions and experiences of navigating blended family dynamics from a child’s perspective.
Abraham shares heartfelt stories about welcoming Anne-Marie and Amani into his life, the joys of family amusement park trips, peaceful camping getaways, and the quiet strength found in shared experiences. But he also opens up about the early pain of his parents' divorce and how, over time, emotional resilience and connection helped reshape his definition of family.
🎯 In this episode, you’ll hear:
- A child’s honest reflections on post-divorce parenting and forming new bonds
- How being present creates safety and emotional growth during transitions
- The power of family bonding through simple, intentional adventures
- How resilient parenting shows up in moments of uncertainty and change
- What it means to lead with supportive fatherhood in a blended household
💡 As we unpack the ups and downs of moving homes, adjusting to new siblings, and navigating shifting identities, we discover the importance of intentional parenting, empathy, and choosing love—even when life looks different than expected.
This episode is an invitation for all families—blended, separated, or traditional—to reflect on what truly matters: presence, connection, and the healing that comes through togetherness.
