Most mental health professionals have long known: that parental conflict is a
source of continual pain for our children – whether the parents are
married or divorced!
According to Dr. Mark Goulston,: “A majority of teenagers, when asked if
they had the choice between their parents being nicer to them or more
loving towards each other, will pick the latter. The animosity between
parents is very painful to their children.”
In this excellent blog posting Rosalind Sedacca writes how minding your tongue around your kids can be one of the most difficult
behaviors to master after a divorce. However, it is also one of the
behaviors that will most benefit your children on a long-term basis.
Don’t let anger, bitterness and indiscriminate remarks hurt and harm
your kids. Work on maintaining the best possible relationship with your
ex – for the sake of the children.
