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!
