No matter what their age, the circumstances, or how well you, as parents, are handling things, divorce is not easy for kids. When parents are divorcing, children feel:
- sad
- anxious
- mad
- vulnerable
- guilty
- frustrated
- ashamed
- responsible
- or perhaps relieved...you name it.
These changes are normal but if they last well past the finalization of the divorce, worsen, or the children show no signs of stress at all, this becomes more concerning. This is a good time to talk with a therapist since the child may be struggling more than expected and could use some support to work through any remaining feelings about the divorce.
We see many families who are going through divorce. This is an area of expertise for us, so contact us today to learn how we can help.
