Divorce...

No matter the stage of your divorced...as long as you have children of any age you will have contact with your ex. How you deal with it of course depends upon you... my advice you must always be polite and avoid DRAMA. As a dear friend has told me "life is messy" So just do not make it more messy - keep your cool!

Sunday April 12 was Easter Sunday so for the next 50 days in this Easter season take some time for yourself; reflect upon new beginning, focus on letting go of the regret and anger, forgive yourself and you will be able to help your children understand the importance of forgiveness.

Dealing with teenagers is always a challenge but being a single parent........well coping with all the attitude, hormones and MOODS............Worse is not living up to "their" exceptions of what they think you should be doing for them and it seems WHAT you are not. Keep talking and most importantly keep listen.................As they say teenage years, this too will pass!

A Kid's Guide to Divorce

A Kid's Guide to Divorce: "Just like the divorce is not the kid's fault, getting parents back together is not up to the kid, either. And most likely, this doesn't happen, although plenty of kids wish for it and even try things they think might work"

Just some thoughts on they cope and the effects of divorce on children!

Effects Of Divorce On Children

Divorce...what an emotional word. For myself, I remember the look on my son's face when my ex husband and I told him. They says hind sight is 20/20; telling the his older sister first, we thought we were protecting him from this harsh reality - his parents would no longer be together. He was more angry with us for not trusting him and believing he could handle it. He felt betrayed!

The effects of divorce on children starts as soon as the words are uttered. Children are a lot stronger than we give them credit, but as their parents we need to remember not add to their emotional stress by using them as our sounding boards of our insecurities.

Look forward to hearing from you about your experiences!
