“Ending a marriage could be one of the most painful choices a person makes. And while it’s crucial to take care of your own healing throughout and after the process, if kids are involved, there’s a whole separate issue to handle. There is no need to feel guilt for getting divorced. Your divorce does not need to doom your child to mental illness and suffering. (But before we go on, let’s pause for a moment and make sure you are aware that your pain and your feelings are valid. As you navigate through this experience, seek help from mental health professionals. Request a free discovery visit with one of our counselors to get started.)”
