I hope that he realizes that he is loved by both of his parents and, while they may not be the idealistic partnership, they are both there for him to support him and to teach him and to play with him and help him understand what is going on.
Parenting is never a straightforward path, and Kaitlin's story is a testament to that. In this episode of 'Birds in a Tree', Kaitlin opens up about raising her son, Oliver, while navigating a co-parenting relationship with her ex-wife.

Through Kaitlin's heartfelt narrative, listeners gain insight into the intricacies of co-parenting and the unwavering commitment required to prioritize a child's needs. This episode is a poignant reminder that even in the face of challenges, love and dedication can pave the way for growth and understanding.
