Some parents don’t leave… they just stop showing up.
In this episode, we break down what it really feels like to co-parent with someone who is physically alive but emotionally, mentally, or consistently gone — a ghost in your child’s life and yours.

We talk about:
✨ The heartbreak and exhaustion of raising kids with an inconsistent parent
✨ How disappearing acts affect a child’s trust, behavior, and emotional safety
✨ What “ghost parenting” looks like in real life (the patterns we never talk about)
✨ Why you stop chasing someone who should already be present
✨ Rebuilding stability when the other parent drifts in and out
✨ Breaking the cycle so your kids don’t repeat it

If you’ve ever felt alone in a “two-parent” situation, this episode is validation, comfort, and clarity wrapped in one.
You are not imagining it. You are not overreacting.
Parenting with a ghost is real — and it leaves a mark.
