It’s difficult enough trying to navigate the impact of divorce on your own life: having to make every single life change you never anticipated that you would have to, and all at the same time. It’s even worse when you have to try to guide your children through something you aren’t even sure how to get through yourself.
Lately I have had some friends reach out for guidance, and I thought I’d offer what I could from the point of view of a school psychologist, but even more so from the point of view of a mother who has walked the path of divorce with her children.
There are so many vague pieces of advice given when you go through a divorce. People will say: work on yourself, or hang in there, or my all time favorite “just stay strong”. Dude – you try having your whole world crumble and be blacklisted by half of your support system and tell me how strong you feel.
Friend – you don’t have to be strong, but this episode will give you some guidance on how to help your kids through this. It’s tempting to just check out entirely, but you can’t. You have people looking to you. You CAN do this. Listen in for some practical ways to offer the support for your children that they need.
