Divorce and Marital Separation
The two most important things you should know about this topic as it affects your child is:
1. Your child can be fine with the proper love, support and counseling. In fact, your children could actually become stronger and emotionally healthier if the separation and divorce is handled in the most amiable manner and with the good support/counseling to help them process their thoughts and feelings about difficult life change.
2. You do NOT need to feel guilty. (Click on Divorce to learn more about the topic for yourself). You more than likely did the best you could and were probably unhappy in the marriage for quite awhile before the decision to split. I am sure the chances are very good that you stayed with the marriage as long as you could for the sake of your children. You may be grieving a spouse and your children may be grieving a parent. There are many losses and life changes that you and your children probably do not like, but must adjust to. This is a difficult time for everyone. Supportive counseling with a caring therapist can makes the journey so much easier for you and your children. A therapist can also support you in how you might be able to best help your children through the transition at home when they won't have a friend or therapist to talk to.
Let us help you and your child/children through this difficult time period.
