Handling Divorce as a Parent

1

When you think of divorce, what comes to mind? For most people, the thought that something went wrong, one or both parties cheated with other people, or were abusive is the go-to line of thinking. 

However, for the most part, many people who choose to get divorced will have fallen out of love or realize they have nothing in common. Unlike the movies, it isn’t some big explosive event, more like a slow realization that actually this isn’t the life they envisaged for themselves. 

But when you have kids involved, how practical is it to get divorced? Staying together if you are unhappy for the kids’ sake isn’t always a good idea unless you are confident you can remain friends and coexist in the same space together. 

However, being open and honest with each other and your family can help you open communication lines so everyone can air their feelings in space can really help you make the best decisions for everyone involved. 

Being able to approach this situation maturely can help you avoid a drawn-out messy process that has implications that last far longer than the divorce process itself.
