This is the hardest and saddest part of getting a divorce or legal separation, because the lives of the children are affected, some if not given a lot of attention will cause a personality or attitude problem or mental and emotional impact to the child.So how can we start to tell our children this hoping that they would understand?

If i am in this position i think i will be not able to tell my kids about my divorce.
It is the most hard action that we are going to do. I think it's not fair for my kids to suffer 'cause of their parents. Even if i have problems i would never hurt my kids. I will never let my kids suffer due to my mistake. Infact, i will never give divorce to my partner.

i think if they are old enough and know the meaning of the world or experienced the cruelty of life. maybe that is when they'll understand. i dont know if i could survie still if my parents will get a divorce.

Hi there, it is really sad to know that people are getting divorce or legal separation. But it will badly affect to the children if they have. They become mentally ill, some what depression, etc., The consequences will impact on the children almost all the aspects, their studies, their emotions, their mental development, adjustment with the society and the people. They feel they are odd man out. Their brain may not properly grow. So my sincere advice is tell them by making them to sit with you. See that you children should not hurt by your words, make them to understand the situation.
Go through this you may get answer.
