Talking to Kids about Divorce
If you are considering divorce, you are likely concerned about the effect it will have on your kids. Your children may feel sad, confused, angry, guilty or worried about what will happen. How you handle the changes will be important for your child’s well-being.
Divorce is NOT about Winning
All too often, couples who ‘duke it out’ in court fixate almost entirely on the ‘winning’ aspect. People fight their partner in court over a multitude of reasons – anger, pride, principles, revenge, or just because they think they’re supposed to! Instead of seeing divorce as a battle, you need to look at divorce as an agreement that allows both parties to move on in a way that both find fair and benefit the kids.
