A Happy Future for Your Children and for Yourself is a Choice
Many books, web sites, counselors, psychologists, support centers and lawyers involved in Children and Divorce write and preach about everything that can go wrong. They highlight the possible negative outcomes of divorce on children, like under performance at school, poorer social skills or even depression.
However, only a minority of the children of divorce suffer from the negative effects.
Do these specialists and resources contribute to preventing or solving these problems? Or do they create problems that actually do not exist? Do you and your children really need help from professionals?
Is the divorce causing the problems or is it something else?
Of course, your divorce does hurt your children emotionally. They will feel pain. You will feel emotional pain. The divorce will hurt your feelings and it will undermine your and your children’s self esteem. But the pain will disappear. The memories will stay. That is all very natural.
You can choose:
- to continue to suffer OR to let it go
- to continue fighting with your ex OR to focus on the future of your children
- to keep complaining about everything you loose OR to accept your new situation and move on
- to stay in touch with friends and family that keep on nagging about your ex OR to take distance from those who influency you negatively
- to keep on blaming your ex in front of your children OR to show them a positive attitude instead
- to spoil your energy and money in court OR to cooperate with your ex for the benefit of your children
- to make your children choose between one of you OR to allow them to have the 2 parents they deserve
Common beliefs about divorce are: Divorce is bad. Life after divorce will be difficult for you and for the children. You and your children will have to “cope” with the new situation.
Many divorced parents did not accept this mediocre perspective. They chose differently. They aimed for a happy, bright and thriving future for their children and for themselves after the divorce. They took action. With or without professional help. And they succeeded.
