Out of the Mouths of Babes

I often tell my clients the most important people in a divorce are the children.  When parents get caught up in their feelings for their spouse - the hate and the anger- they tend to forget how their actions and what they say affect their children.

I was reminded of this as I read an article on huffingtonpost.com which identified rules children would want their parents to follow after a divorce.  Something as simple as one parent talking badly about the other parent can cause a child distress.  The children didn’t ask for the divorce.

As much as you may hate your spouse or former spouse, that person is still your child’s other parent; a person your child loves just as much as he loves you.  It is the person your child looks to just as much as he looks to you for direction, for a hero, for love.

If you have children and are going through a divorce or have already gone through a divorce, please take the time to read this article, and keep it in mind if you’re going through this very stressful event:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kara-bishop/if-your-kids-could-make-t_b_1171554.html.
