Childrens From Broken Family

I came from a broken family. My parents divorce when I was 10. It was a hard time for me, but I survive. This is what I was going through on that time. I though I was losing a parent. Soon I realize that I am not losing a parent just that they are no longer living together. I learn to look at the brighter side of things. I have two homes. I have two source of pocket money. Two presents for my birthday. A child will be effected, thats for sure. But the divorce parents could less the bad effect by still showing that both of then still love the child, eventho they have no love for each other. The children could still live a happy life if both of the parents still care and shows love to the children. I'm 24 now, still in contact with both of my parents.

I do not like the term broken family. 1. because a lot of families are better off when a divorce happens. I come from what is termed a broken home, but our home was broken there, it fixed when my parents got divorced. Children are going to be upset when a divorce happens its only natural they go from living with both parents to living withe one and visiting the other. I feel its up to the parents to make sure the situation is handled as stress free as possible and for parents to remember to put there own feelings on the back burner and to put the kids first. Kids need to be reminded the divorce is not there fault as some feel they are cause of the divorce. Communication and reassurance are vital parts the parents need to have with their kids. Not all children who come from a "broken home" go through the misery and such some children realize that the divorce is a good thing. They will no longer have to take part in the fact that parents can not get along or live together.

there is no way that one can answer a question so deep as this one here in a discussion. Understanding by the parents is necessary not fighting in front of the children not talking bad about each other in front of the children not refusing to let the children see the other parent talking to the children and making sure they know that they are still loved and had nothing to do with the divorce

Hi, mdarma. I think that the best way to save them, if they are already in the situation, is constant communication from both parent. The parents should always tell them how much they love them. And that mommy and daddy may not be together anymore but are still the best of friends. Maybe, set aside one day in a week a picnic or any get together in either tha man's place or the mom's.
