When one finds themselves in a beautiful romantic relationship, it seems like you are going to be together forever. You accept your partner for who they are and want to build a life and possibly a family with them. Fortunately, for some people, this does not wither with time and go on to have a long-lasting and loving marriage and relationship. For others, this is not the case sadly. When one is married, they sometimes start seeing their partner in a different light, sometimes in a negative one. Divorce is actually very common with almost 50% of marriages in the United States ending in divorce. The divorce process can be very lengthy and expensive and so many couples go to couples therapy to try and salvage the relationship. For many, it does work quite well but for many, it does not. This could be because the partner just simply doesn’t want to be with their partner anymore or they were betrayed in a manner they cannot forget. Many things can make a divorce more complicated and lengthier such as prenups and one partner not wanting to divorce. But one of the most complicated aspects of a divorce is children. If a married couple had children, it makes everything so much more fragile. The number one concern every parent should have when going through a divorce is their children. Children love seeing their parents happy and together so when they start to notice one parent being gone, they can get quite depressed. Children are very smart, and it is foolish to think that they aren’t smart enough to know what is going on because they are good observers. Children between the ages of 6 and 12 are the most affected when their parents are divorcing as at this age range, they are old enough to remember the good time they’ve had with both their parents. But it is important to remember that children at any age will be affected in some way. It is critical that parents make sure to put their children first no matter what. It will be a sad time for them but with time, they can come to accept it and understand why it happened.
