"Most marriages don't break up in a single recognizable moment. Its more like an irreversible fraying of the bonds between two people who are entwined in a thousand small ways." The rise of the good divorce by Susanna Schrobsdorff

♥️ Our children, regardless of their age or parent's relationship status, want just five things: love, acknowledgment, inclusion, joy, & opportunities. Should it really be that hard to get out of our feelings to let them feel like their life matters too? After a separation, nothing tells them they are still important like truly great co-parenting can.

"A former partner is now an adversary, a competitor for finite resources, someone to avoid" "When Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin split after 10 years of marriage, she introduced us to the concept of conscious uncoupling wherein divorcing parents are to be partners in each others spiritual progress, for their sake as well as for the sake of the children" The rise of the good divorce

great information as majority of the people get divorce without thinking about the feeling of children. This will be a child's greatest need because their self-concept is very likely in a fragile and formative stage, especially if they are at a young age. They will try to gain approval because their sense of belonging to the family has been shattered. Children also tend to personalize things and blame themselves. If mom and dad are fighting and divorcing, they personalize it. They think, "If we didn't make so much noise. If we didn't need shoes..." They need acceptance. They need to know that they are important, that they are a priority. They will try to gain approval because their sense of belonging to the family has been shattered.

Makes the children seem like a business commodity. Most divorced people get in this situation because they are unable to deal in a mature way with others close to them, to think that will change because of a divorce is myopic.

My friend's daughter felt anger and resentment towards her mom for leaving her dad. The mom never told her daughter it was because of his cheating. I feel that the daughter has the right to know why the mom left the dad instead of having no reason at all and resenting her for it. No??

I agree. Every therapist or counselor I’ve ever seen though disagrees. I don’t know why? Apparently you’re not to utter a bad word about the other parent which I thinkIt’s almost impossible to do. I agree no unnecessary bashing but sometimes I believe your kid should know the truth when appropriate

[@graphicdesigner7147]

Thats all great but what if only one side wants to be civil and communicate and go on family wizard and the other side refuses. Therapists say “we are causing conflict” we? I’m the one that is trying but am met with disdain but I am being blamed for causing conflict because there is no communication. I know it’s great when you get along but what do you do when you try but all they want to do is point the finger and blame. He tells the kids it’s my fault too. Don’t assume every scenario is as perfect as yours. This DID NOT HELP!
