As a divorced mother and a psychologist I have seen how divorce can affect children. In severe cases where the divorcing parents have focused on money and screwing the other out of everything that they can, the children have all been but destroyed. However, in cases where the parents have made valiant efforts to protect their kids from the traumas of divorce and the arguments that are normally associated with any partnership dissolution, the kids have been able to survive the divorce and rebound without lasting scars.
Children cope with divorce in many different ways. I have seen some kids withdraw from the world as a way to remove themselves from the discomfort of the situation, while I have seen others take on the role of a parental figure for their younger siblings and even for their parents. The age, personality and emotional maturity of the child is going to impact which coping methods they use.
Humor, love, understanding and patience are required for surviving a divorce as a family. The bonds that have been created between parents and their children need to be cherished and strengthened during this difficult situation. When I went through my divorce I saw it as an opportunity to become a better parent and a stronger more compassionate individual. My son, who was three years old at the time, seemed to pick up on my determination to make the divorce a good thing. He was able to deal with the schedule changes, the change of address and the occasional emotional distress that infiltrated our home. Today, my son and I are very close because I chose to be a divorce success story instead of a statistic.

Yes, it needs to acquire Love, Understanding and Patience to survive a divorce family. My parents aren’t divorce in legal terms but they separately broke apart for good for several yrs. ago, coz it wasn’t allowed here in our country to amend that kind of law. It’s really hard to cope up everything when you sought things like that on your younger age, your innocent days and your emotional implication, but yet struggling those times to forget and til times gone by slowly by slowly my scars went healed by time.
My mother gave all the support i need, while my father left us and went gone to someone else, my mother really did bear all those pain in vain, it took many yrs for her to accept and understands, til the time gone by she slowly recovered, yet the scars still remains on her heart, my mother provides me everything about my emotional attention and support even we encountered countless troubles for letting me understand about things had happen for long. That’s why its really not easy to cope up everything when the family mislead into trouble, specially the children could be the main victim of those circumstances, its all about pain, fear, revenge, despair and loosing of love, if the child could not be guided.
