Divorce:
Not Always About the Husband and Wife
When children are separated between two parents, it can be hard on them, and for others it can pass them as if it never happened. Depending on how close they were to the other parent, has a direct effect on how they will react to different situations throughout the rest of their lives. It is not always easy on children to not see the other half of the family; it can be hard on them. Not having a family together can cause havoc on a child’s self esteem and future relationships.
Civility between the parents is essential. As long as the reason for the divorce did not involve abuse of any kind, a child deserves to be a part of both of their parent’s lives. It is extremely unhealthy for a child to be separated from a parent and have animosity in the air. Children can pick up on negative feelings and react ways that will affect many things that dictate their future. Being sensitive to the way they feel about the situation can keep them from acting out in ways that are not conducive to a healthy future.
Some children will rebel when there is only one parent in the picture. Divorce is related to failing grades and behavior issues with children. This is particularly true when both parents are so wrapped up in their own issues, that the child’s welfare and studies take second chair. Going through a divorce and having children is tough, but tougher on the kids. You have to pay more attention to the children than you would otherwise, as this is an extremely sensitive time. The way you handle this situation with your kids can directly affect the rest of their lives, their future families and even their success as an adult. As a parent, it is your responsibility to make a divorce as comfortable and as civil as possible.
