        ⚖️&nbsp; What it means to have grown up with child custody battles between parents
    </h2>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.1rem; font-weight: 500; margin: 0; color: #1f2937;">
       <strong>Did you grow up caught in custody battles, watching your family break into pieces while you tried to figure out how to exist in two separate worlds? Did you learn to become a diplomat between warring parents, to hide your true feelings to protect the adults around you, and to carry the impossible weight of everyone else's pain while your own got lost in the shuffle?</strong>

    <blockquote style="font-size: 1.1rem; margin: 0; color: #0c4a6e; line-height: 1.6;">
        💎 These days, you keep one foot out the door in relationships—because "forever" always ends.<br><br>
        💎 You brace for the "turn"—that moment when love flips from "forever" to "go to hell!"<br><br>
        💎 Witnessing your parents' relationship collapse left you with a heightened awareness of cracks in your own relationships. A partner's bad mood becomes "This is how it starts," replaying your parents' unraveling.

        When your parents split, your world didn't just break—it shattered into two irreconcilable realities. You may have become skilled at reading the room and adjusting your behavior based on which parent you were with, learning different versions of yourself for different homes. In your household, love may have come with screaming matches, tearful apologies, slammed doors, and passionate makeups—that emotional rollercoaster became your normal.
    </p>
    
    <p style="font-size: 1.1rem; margin: 0; color: #1f2937;">
        This experience may have taught you to keep one foot out the door in relationships—because "forever" always ends. You brace for the "turn," that moment when love flips from "forever" to "go to hell," and in your heart, you question whether lasting love is actually possible or if all relationships are ultimately temporary.
