Don’t make your child a messenger

Good Parenthood Practices

you are not the reason

You should make it clear to the child that he/she is not the reason for your divorce. You tell your child that even if circumstances change tomorrow, your love for them will never change. You are moving away from your partner, not from them. Assure the child that you are still with him/her and will support him/her.

keep the child away

When you are talking to your ex-partner about co-parenting the child, there is no need to involve the child in all this. It is possible that some of your words may hurt the child’s heart. Therefore, whatever discussion has to be done, do it alone and keep the child away from it.

It is legitimate for children to be angry

Farhan said that if his/her children are angry at him/her for why he/she chose divorce and why he/she did not try to work on his/her marriage, then somehow they are right. his/her anger is justified and he/she may feel sad because of this.
