None of us enter into a marriage with the thought that it may someday end in divorce, but there are occasions whenever this does occur. Although it is difficult enough on the individuals that are married, it is also equally or more difficult on the children that may be involved in the union as well.
The unfortunate thing is, many parents will actually play the children in order to gain an advantage over the other parent during the divorce. This can lead to a lot of hurt feelings, a lack of self-confidence and even severe abandonment issues in the children. It is especially during this difficult time that your child needs you to be the adult and to leave them out of the difficulties that you may be experiencing. Although this can be difficult, it most certainly is not impossible. You may even find that cooperation between you and the other person involved in the divorce may make things easier on the two of you as well.
It may take time, and things may not always go exactly as planned but if you continue to work with your children during this time, everybody involved can come out of the situation without too many lasting scars. If you are unaware of how you should approach this time in your life, there are support groups and professionals that you can speak to who would certainly be able to guide you in this regard.
By looking after your children during the time of divorce, you may actually find that you end up with a better relationship
