(Provided by: Divorce Source, Inc. Staff)

Step into your child's world, try on his or her shoes in hopes of understanding what he or she is feeling.Go to: Surviving Divorce Informational Section
You may consider telling your children that while you will no longer all live together, you will work things out in their best interest and continue to be a family. They will accept your splitting up much better if they feel they still have you both, even if it is under separate roofs. If they can still see and talk with the two of you as often as possible and continue with each of you in the roles they've assigned you in their hearts, they will get through this with you. And, please, don't let them hear you say anything bad about their mom or dad.
