THE DIVORCED DAD SURVIVAL GUIDE
What Christian Fathers Are Really Struggling With After Divorce —
And Why “Just Being Strong” Isn’t Working
(This is not a workbook. This is not a program. This is clarity.)
(This is not a workbook. This is not a program. This is clarity.)

They tell you:
“Focus on the kids”
“Stay strong”
“God has a plan”
“It’ll get better with time”
Hijacks your nervous system
Fractures your identity
Complicates your faith
Makes you question your worth as a father
Leaves you functioning — but hollow
You’re showing up. You’re providing. You’re being present.
But internally:
Your emotions feel unpredictable or shut down
You replay conversations constantly
Your faith feels distant or confusing
You feel like you lost yourself, not just your marriage
You’re afraid of becoming a version of yourself your kids don’t need

This ebook will not fix your life.
What it will do is give you:
Language for what you’re experiencing
Clarity about why this feels so destabilizing
Relief from thinking “something is wrong with me”
A framework for what healing actually requires
A clear understanding of what comes next

✔ Why divorce hits men differently than women
✔ Why your emotions feel unpredictable or numb
✔ Why faith can feel distant even when you still believe
✔ Why isolation feels safer — and why it backfires
✔ The hidden stages men actually move through after divorce
✔ Why most men drift instead of rebuild
✔ What real rebuilding requires (and what it doesn’t)
This is orientation, not execution.

You are a divorced or recently divorced father
You care deeply about your kids
You want to heal, not suppress
Your faith matters to you
You want clarity before you take action
You want quick motivation
You’re looking for someone to blame
You don’t want to look inward
You want a shortcut around the work
I didn’t write this guide as an expert standing above you.
I wrote it as a man who lost his footing.
After years of loss — including six miscarriages and the death of our son late in pregnancy — my marriage unraveled. Alcohol re-entered my home in ways I recognized from my childhood, watching my own mother struggle with alcoholism before it eventually took her life.
I didn’t just lose a marriage. I lost my internal stability.
What helped first wasn’t a program.
It was understanding what was actually happening to me.
This ebook gives you that understanding.

✔ Honest
✔ Clear
✔ Grounded
✔ Faith-aware
✔ Written for men
✖ Not therapy
✖ Not a workbook
✖ Not a program
✖ Not pressure
✖ Not hype
This is the first step.
This isn’t about price. It’s about permission.
Permission to:
Stop pretending you’re fine
Understand your experience
Choose your next step intentionally
At the end of the ebook, you’ll be invited to continue — not pressured.
If you want:
Structure
Daily guidance
A real rebuild
That’s where the Rebuilt Program & Field Manual Workbook comes in.
But this comes first.

You are not weak. You are not broken. You are not failing your kids.
You are navigating a season that demands clarity before action.
This guide gives you that clarity.
