If you're a parent getting divorce, it is difficult to concentrate on what's best for your children as you go through rollercoater emotions, and deal with frustration.
The bottom line is that children need help in coping with a divorce as much as (or more than) you do. Children don't have the skills to cope with their fear of the unknown, and cannot just walk away from a bad situation--they depend on you.
Mediation provides a great opportunity to settle your divorce differences as quickly as possible with a minimum of fallout for the children. But until you get to mediation or through a trial, things can get pretty difficult for you and your children.
I recently shared these resources with my newsletter subscribers to help them and their children while in the middle of a divorce--or even after the divorce:
Ten Tips For Divorcing Parents, courtesy of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
5 Simple Steps: Kids need help when parents divorce, from the Rochester, MN, Post-Bullentin.
This is information that than can help you help your children during the divorce or afterwards, and even help you focus on finding solutions to the divorce issues.
Share this list with your soon-to-be Ex-spouse, you'll both be glad and your children will love you the more for it.
Post your comments on the above resources, or suggest others you've found helpful.
