Separation and divorce can feel like your world has been turned upside down. Even when it’s the right decision, it often comes with a mix of emotions -grief, uncertainty, relief, fear, shame, and everything in between. If I can stress one thing that can safeguard children through this experience, as well as parents, it’s to plot a mindful course forward, steer away from reacting in anger, instead making intentional decisions. What is in front of you is a marathon, you’ll get to the finish line, but you want to arrive there is one piece.
And how you move through this transition, for example, how you communicate, how you respond, how you care for yourself, can deeply shape how your child experiences and adjusts to this new chapter.
