An experienced and knowledgeable divorce lawyer in Vancouver WA, Lambert Law Office, offers tips for parents on how to cope with the anxiety and guilt that comes with their divorce.
Getting a divorce without children is stressful enough. Being a parent, and getting a divorce, adds the unfortunate necessity of explaining your situation to your children.
In this two-part series, Lambert Law Office offers tips on how to deal with the anxiety and guilt that comes with being a divorced parent.
…Don’t beat yourself up because you’re not perfect. No one is perfect.
…So, you’ve made some mistakes. Every parent makes mistakes including the really good parents.
…Going through a divorce can be similar to going through a death. Sometimes, all you can do for your children is be there and let them know they’re loved.
…If your child says something negative, consider not taking it as a criticism. It might just be a product of their anguish.
…If your child blames you for your divorce it’s probably just a defense mechanism. Contemplate looking at it as a coping method.
Part two of this series debuts next week.
