What Happend To Make You and Mom/Dad Divorce? What to Say When Your Child Finds Out About the Affair...


Parents have to deal with a lot of tough questions from their children--"Why is red red?" "Why can't I have a car?" or (yikes!) "Where do babies come from?"  But maybe none is tougher than the one discussed in this article "Why did you break up my family?"  Parents who think they can give a one-sided explanation are probably in for a shock. Kids are smarter than you think, and the impact of that breakup on their trajectory could have impact much further or deeper than you'd like.  The article below shares that kids take breakups differently at different times, and depending on how well it is handled.  Researchers don't fully understand why or what factors are at play to determine how a child manages a breakup.  What is known, however, should cause you great concern if your a parent--or a child.
