“Divorce is a type of death, full of grief and pain.”
      According to the Adult Life Change Index Scale that measures stress levels T.H.Holmes & T.H.Rahe, Journal of Psychosomatic Research 1967

                                                            What happens when the dream dies?

                                                           How will divorce impact my children?

                                                        Why is it harder the second time around?

                                                      How can I help my children adjust to divorce?

If you are considering divorce then you know that just the very thought of divorce can be painful. It is, at best, a difficult decision that evokes feelings of failure and loss. Most people expect that when they marry it will last a lifetime and they build their hopes and dreams on that premise.

Divorce hurts, breaking up a family hurts, and your children have a different experience than you do.

Your future and the quality of life that you and your children have in the aftermath of your divorce, directly depends upon the foundation you create in the process.

Blended Families

Blended families are complicated. When you bring children from different families together to make a “new family” challenges are bound to arise. Each family has its own dynamic with different backgrounds, parenting styles, values and expectations. Children often struggle with loyalty issues and resentments toward their new step parent and siblings. Learn to work through the complicated family structure, understand the role of being a step parent and develop mutual understanding.

              Why is there a constant power struggle between my children and my husband/wife and me?
