“When it hits you, you ask, “Where do I go from here?” Psychological shock sets in and shock sometimes acts as an anesthetic. Anger accompanies grief. On the heels of anger is guilt.

“Children of divorce need clarity about what’s going on. They should be emotionally prepared for the divorce and the changes it will make in their lives—where they will live, who will take care of them, when will they see the other parent and assurance of their parent’s love and support, both emotional and financial. A cooperative effort between both parents is a necessity. Joint custody situations take commitment from both parents with flexibility, not a tug-of-war.” – Dr. Judith S. Wallerstein – Center for the Family in Transition

Myth: Teenagers—because they are old enough to understand divorce—are not as traumatized buy it. Adolescents, on the brink of becoming independent, need a stable family to rely on as they experiment with adult emotions and relationships. Divorce can make them feel abandoned at a critical point in their maturing process. Some put off their independence in anger and rebellion. Others become overly responsible to the parent they perceive as being the most hurt and fail to make lives for themselves. – Dr. Judith S. Wallerstein – Center for the Family in Transition
