Ron: One of my goals…connecting you to your child’s heart.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: I heard from a dad who had listened to a podcast I was on talking about kids, the challenges of divorce, and blended families and it got him wondering if his daughter could relate. So, he asked her. Sure enough, she did. But there was more.

You see, she didn’t really have words for what she was feeling. He helped her put words on her experience when they talked about it. But there was even more. You see, she had felt disconnected from her father and he didn’t know that. The conversation and her dad’s empathy made her feel close to him, not alone. Supported, not isolated. Loved, not forgotten. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
