Protecting Your Children from the Effects of Divorce
As a child, my parents got a divorce. I thought it was all my fault; I figured they blamed me for their problems. After all, my dad was constantly yelling at my mother for spending money (usually on me) and my mother was constantly yelling at my dad for not being involved with his children (oh wait, that’s me again). They each hired a divorce lawyer in Sacramento to go after the other one for almost everything. It was a long and stressful divorce. However, their issues were between the two of them and had nothing to do with me. It took me years to understand that. That’s why I recommend that parents who are constantly fighting and/or considering divorce read the article, “The Effects of Divorce on Children.” It will really help you see how to protect your children during this time of difficulty.
