Effects of Divorce on Children.

Almost every parent says the same thing…the most difficult part of divorce is its effect on the children.  They constantly second-guess their decision “for the good of the kids” and as a result often make matters worse.  Often it is not the divorce itself, but rather the uncertainty of life AFTER divorce that effects your kids more.

Having to adjust to a new home or a new school if that is the case may take a year or more.  And we all know that children tend to blame themselves for the divorce because at one time or another one or both parents have “yelled” at them.  They also are slowed in their ability to move on by thinking that the adults will solve everything and get back together.
