I am a single mom of 3 children currently divorcing their father, whom I was with for 17 years. While I had hoped for some civility or even amicably, I have experienced the opposite. Divorce causes some serious emotion, I get that. However, the things that are often to said to children are completely innapropriate and often cause them mental distress. The purpose of this blog is to expose those things that are said so that maybe the next set of parents who divorce, think carefully about their words. Even better? If we raise our children to be a better set of parents than the ones who are currently saying all the wrong stuff.
Let me state this clearly.....early on I made my fair share of mistakes in saying things to my kids. And very early on I learned to shut my mouth. Once I saw the hurt in their eyes, it was just enough. So no, I am no angel but I have learned and am experiencing an ex-spouse who is oblivious to his harm that he is inducing.
