7
messages children need to hear from their parents:
I
love you and will not leave you.
You
did not cause the divorce and you cannot change the
situation. It's not your job.
It
is okay to love your (Father)(Mother).
You
can talk to me: I will listen.
It's
okay to be sad, scared, happy, frustrated, or upset
about the divorce.
You
do not need to take care of me. I will take care of
myself and get appropriate help when I need it.
I
love you and will not leave you.
Education
for Families in Divorce Transition
When
a mother and father divorce, it is a major
life change for all members of the family.
Each family member's emotional, psychological,
physical, and financial well-being needs to
be carefully considered.
Children are often affected for years to come
by decisions that divorcing parents make during
the initial legal phase of divorce.
The Parents Forever session topics listed
below are intended to provide divorcing couples
-- or those contemplating divorce -- with
the information they need to make decisions
that will minimize the stress of this transition
on the entire family.
Session Topics:
Impact of Divorce on Adults
Legal Issues in Divorce
Impact of Divorce on Children
