Children and Divorce

Children and Divorce:
"One of the most serious challenges divorced parents face is maintaining the emotional well-being of their children after a divorce. We all want to give our children a better world than the one we came into. No matter who we are, however, the cause and effect of our lives on theirs has unforeseen repercussions. Families that experience traumatic incidents -- such as death, divorce, or failed marriages -- have children who are more susceptible to mirroring the mistakes of their parents.

The break-up of your marriage was very hard on you and your ex, so you can only imagine what trauma your child feels about it. While your children may not have been privy to all the ups and downs that went on between Mom and Dad, they did witness some of the anger and tears. "
