How Do I Tell the Kids about the Divorce?

Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:28:16 +0000

Kids tend to blame themselves when parents divorce. The Sandcastles workshop–now mandatory in over a dozen counties throughout the United States–is a half-day group session for children of divorce between the ages of 6 and 17. This intensive workshop helps kids open up and deal with their feelings through drawings, games, poetry, role playing, and other activities. Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce details many of the workshop exercises, all designed to increase communication, understanding, and togetherness between parents and kids. The book is also packed full of suggestions on everything from the best way to break the divorce news to a child (it differs according to age group) to facing the holidays, visitation, custody arrangements, anger, discipline, co-parenting, single parenting, overcompensation, sorrow, custody fights, and much more.

Author Gary Neuman never patronizes or preaches, and although he is technically a child advocate, he proves himself to be an advocate of every member of the divorcing family. Neuman takes a hands-on approach and believes that children need not be permanently scarred by divorce–that with work and time, divorce can actually become a positive force for change. A powerful tool for protecting children caught amid parental struggles, Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce should be required reading in all divorcing families. –Ericka Lutz

If you are one of the 1% of men who actually believe they can navigate the waters of divorce with simple and effective adult conversation with your (soon to be) ex, this site is not for you. In fact, call a mediator immediately and sit down and reach an understanding as soon as possible.

However, if you are among the remaining 99%, please listen carefully because…

…you are about to engage in the fight of your life…

No, you are not asking for it. You may not even want it. But, it is part of your new reality and a very real part of the process you are about to enter.

With just the slightest twist and turn of events in a relationship, a happy marriage can crumble to an ugly, nasty divorce in seconds flat. And, don’t think it can’t happen to you because it can and will…just like it happens to normal ‘nice guys’ every day of the week…every month of the year. History does repeat itself in matters of marriage and divorce.

Grandparents’ Rights Manual and Grandparents Going to Custody Court.

Dear Grandparent, You are NOT alone!

Unfortunately, with the number of divorces escalating at a frightening rate, more and more grandparents just like you are experiencing fear and despondency regarding the fate of their beloved grandchildren.

You may have difficulty seeing them on a steady basis or you may have been denied visits altogether.
You may suspect, or even know, that they are neglected and possibly abused; maybe even left alone for long periods of time without loving supervision or protection.
You may fear that they are being unduly disciplined by some “stranger” who has moved in with the child’s parent.
You have heard “inklings” from neighbors, or relatives, or the child, about drugs and parties, and many “friends” coming and going.
You may have found that they are being “warehoused” in daycare.
You may realize that they have been “given” to the other Grandparents.

Divorce Advice For Women

admin — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:25:45 +0000

It’s easy to feel lost and alone when you are going through a divorce. You know that you need to understand the issues before you make any major decisions, but how do you gain the knowledge? For most people, advice from friends just isn’t enough. What you need is a roadmap to help you navigate all the ins and outs of divorce.

I know from experience what an impact divorce can have on a woman’s life. When my marriage ended, I was emotionally raw and worn down by all the decisions to be made.
Consequently, I made my fair share of mistakes.

Having learned my lessons the hard way, I made a promise to myself that no woman would ever have to face this journey alone.

As a result, I started the WomansDivorce website in 2001 to help other women going through a divorce, and have done so ever since.
