How will divorce impact your
children? This question keeps parents awake at night at all stages of the
divorce process. Fear of harming your children might have even been a reason
you stayed in an unhappy marriage for longer than you wanted to. Wondering what
is best for your kids and navigating the optimal way to get them through the
transition might feel like a constant struggle.
Deborah Anderson Bialis, in this excellent posting on the
Huff Post Divorce blog, outlines five concrete
ways to minimize negative impacts divorce might have on your kids and to make
the transition more positive.
1.
Try an
amicable alternative to litigation.
2.
Insulate
your children from the drama.
3.
Invest
in a good therapist (or two!).
4.
Take
care of yourself.
5.
Constantly
communicate: the divorce is NOT their fault!
