The Appropriate Ways Of Informing Your Kids About Your Divorce Or Separation

by Belle Smith

They say that the sad part of divorce is on the part where you need to inform your kids about the real status of your relationship. This is really true, because if kids are not properly informed, they ended up blaming themselves for the breakup of their parents. But these things can actually be avoided if you just know the proper ways of telling your kids about the sad reality.

Work with your Spouse

You and your spouse should both help each other in facing this sad situation in your life and you must both agree on how you are going to inform your kids about your divorce. Despite of the things that happened between the two of you, avoid arguing in front of your children, because this will just make them feel bad. Whatever the reasons of your breakup are, you must still consider each other as friends because your kids will definitely feel bad if you are not in good terms with each other after the divorce.

Look for the Right Time

You must inform your kids about your decision to divorce at the right time, so to avoid any conflicts between you and your kids. Divorce is a very sensitive topic to talk about with your kids, so look for the right timing when talking to them about it. It would also help if you and your spouse will talk to your children only when all the pain and hatred within you is gone.

Do Not Blame Anyone

As mentioned from the start, some kids would tend to blame themselves whenever their parents are divorcing. It's not good for kids to think of their mother or father as the reason for the breakup, because this will just make it more difficult for them to bear. So make sure to avoid back biting your spouse when talking to your kids about the breakup, and avoid saying bad things against each other. Make them feel that you are still one family, and nothing has changed, except that you or your spouse will no longer live in one house.

Reassure Your Kids

It's hard for kids to accept the fact that the two people they love are breaking apart, so give them assurance that you and your spouse are fine with your decision to divorce. Give them reassurance that you and your spouse will still remain to be good friends despite of what happened and that you are still going to be there for them, especially in those times where they needed you the most. Assure them that the family bond will still be there, and make them feel that they are still special to you.

Always be honest with your children when you to talk to them about your plan to divorce, so they will not feel that they are being betrayed. Another important thing to remember is to make sure that it's the two of you who are going to talk to your kids about the divorce, and do not just do it all by yourself. And the most important of all is to make sure that you keep up with the promises you made. Therefore, if you promise to be there for them, then you should look for ways to really be there no matter what.

Without a doubt, divorce is definitely complicated. But, if you still think that the marital relationship is salvageable, then there's almost always a better way.
