With your help
They Can Thrive
Divorce brings on so many challenges, especially when you have children, whether they are infants, toddlers, school age or adults. I know, because after 27 years of marriage I found myself single.
During the divorce process I wrote my graduate school thesis on what other…. The Effects of Divorce on Adult Children. The research at that time did not exist. So I studied the effects on younger children and then interviewed adult children of divorce. To my surprise the affect was the same.
When my paper was returned to me, my professor commented, “Either people will think you are crazy or brilliant!” Why? Because the thesis designed a program to help parents to cooperatively co-parent their children. Would you believe that was back in 1993, not so long ago… and this was considered a new concept.
Well, now many people talk about how important it is for parents to be able to cooperatively co-parent, but few actually walk their talk. The purpose of this blog is to provide a place for you to give voice to practical ways to accomplished a positive coexistence with your former spouse and to help others do the same because when you are family to your children you always are family to each other.
congratulations for your thesis! =)
it’s extremely important for parents to guide their children during and after the divorce. Normally, kids who were raised with a divorced or broken family have the tendency to becoming assholes of the society. At the this stage, children need more attention & understanding
Just found your blog and wanted to offer you my sincere congratulations and gratitude for your work on this important issue. Please visit our blog for a very interesting documentary recently broadcast on Canadian television – it is interesting to see the progress since you wrote your thesis – sadly, progress is slow.
Be Firm in Ending the Relationship. Think it over and over before you decide whether to break the relationship or not. Whatever decision you make will not only affect your future relationship with your partner as well as your children – it can cause a lifetime regret if you’ll realize in the end that it’s him that you want to be with.
It was always presumed that dysfunctional marital relationships caused dysfunctional behavior patterns in children.A child’s likelihood of experiencing adjustment problems following divorce depends on the interaction of the child’s temperament and the quality of his or her mother’s parenting style.This means children in divorced families are at greater risk of developing adjustment problems.
Interesting that you are going through the same things. But great that you have have found a way to talk and deal with the issues that you are all going through. I think that often when we talk about things we discover ways of solving problem that we would not otherwise know exist.
