From Love to Hate in 10 years or less...
It is hard to imagine that you can fall deeply madly in love with someone, have children and turn into "War of the Roses" but it happens more often than we imagine and it is really, really sad. Particularly for the children......a friend of mine who is going through a horrible divorce said it best, we don't know how damaging it is for kids until they are much older....which makes you realize that the key is to keep your kids talking, feeling, crying, laughing, emoting....Silence is not to be trusted in these situations. Let's get all of us talking about this epidemic of fighting over children

Yes, however, on the flip side...what else is hurting our kids is that the ex does not exercise his visitation rights. For those children who sit on the front steps, waiting for Daddy to show, but he doesn't. It is us (me) who has to comfort and wipe away the tears and make up some lame excuse. That is painful as well.
ReplyDeleteDivorce is one of the most stressful events in one's life. Families are torn emotionally and children's lives are turned upside down. The courts claim to make decisions in the best interest of the children, but ironically, it is the court process that is destroying children. Families are not complex legal matters. A divorce can take years to resolve, especially when children are involved and the legal costs leave all parties in a financial mess. It's not about winning or losing. Children are not pawns to be used as a means to win a battle. Children need both parents. So, let's identify the key issues and move forward from here to collectively make a difference in our court system.
