No matter what the dynamics of your family are, divorce is a difficult time for everyone. It is even more so when there are children involved. Since children do not completely understand all the aspects that went into the decisions of their parents to divorce, they will face a range of emotions. They may feel the spectrum of feelings from anger to sadness, disappointment to guilt.
As parents it is our job to help them navigate this confusing time as best as possible. Most importantly we need to recognize and acknowledge all the emotions they are feeling during this time. It is important to minimize the impact on the child as much as possible.
