The emotional rollercoaster of divorce

On Behalf of | Jan 13, 2017 | Divorce

Many Texas parents are currently facing challenges regarding the process of ending their marriages. For some, the main issues include trying to find ways to help their children adapt to their new lifestyles after divorce. The following practical ideas have helped others in similar circumstances.

It is not uncommon for pre-teens and teenagers (even some adults) to have difficulty verbally articulating their feelings. This is why many family advisers suggest distance communication as a viable option for discussing parents’ divorce. Use of email or text messaging can be beneficial so that children have a way to express themselves without feeling put on the spot.

Many children and adults alike thrive on routine. Parents can encourage stability in their children’s lives by establishing new routines that coincide with schedule changes in a post-divorce lifestyle. In addition to helping kids stay on task, it inspires feelings of security and stability as they get used to living in two different houses. A key factor is to keep lines of communication open and to address any problems that arise as swiftly and peaceably as possible.

Even the most amicable divorce has the potential to bring hidden emotional problems to the surface. Those difficulties may multiply exponentially if the divorce is contentious. It is crucial that a concerned parent have an experienced Texas divorce attorney by his or her side. As a personal advocate, a skilled attorney will protect parental rights and seek agreeable outcomes to unresolved issues while keeping children’s best interests at heart.
