You can protect your children’s experience…
Families in Transition.
As people we connect because it’s in us to connect.
No one gets into a relationship, moves in together or marries with the intention of it ending. We are social creatures and we like to be emotionally connected to others.
Life moves forward, we have children and create a family because it’s in us to do so. But the stresses and anxieties of life also build over time.
The life cycle continues…
For different reasons, some manage relationship and family life better than others. As we know, the divorce rate or the rate of separation hovers around 50%.
But how to resolve the grief, pain and loss is a challenge and more so when there are children involved.
One of the greatest challenges is then to transition from one household to two homes while keeping the anxiety, stress and conflict at a minimum. Especially for your children.
Some separations are amicable, some go through a period of conflict, but move past it, and some are high conflict and remain so.
Some co-parents who are high conflict, with the help of a Parenting Coordinator, can learn to manage on their own after a period of time. Some parents remain in high conflict throughout their children’s childhood and beyond, even when there’s a Parenting Coordinator involved.
