Text battles with your ex can wreck your day, your sleep, and your relationship with your kids. In this episode of Kingdom Dad Roars, we break down why these fights spiral so fast—and how to finally take control. You’ll hear real stories from divorced dads who let one message turn into a full-blown war, only to realize the damage was bigger than the text itself.

We’ll talk about why we read way too much into texts, voicemails, and emails, and how stressing over hidden “meanings” gives your ex more power than she should have. You’ll also hear a simple but powerful mindset shift: think of texting like prompting an AI. If you don’t set the prompt, your brain defaults to bitterness and fear. But you can choose to “prompt” yourself to respond like a confident, unshakeable father who keeps the focus on the kids.

We’ll wrap with clear boundaries every co-parenting dad needs—so your phone stops running your life.
