Children Affected by Divorce

I have read many blogs and articles about children and how they may be negatively affected by a divorce.

There are many support groups for adults in divorce and almost as many nowadays for children as well.

In my own experience, my boys were 16 and 19 years of age and seemed to be OK with their Mom and Dad's troubles and didn't appear to take any one side of it either. There wasn't a lot of yelling between us at all and perhaps that made it a bit easier on them too.

I wrote in my book about how very important it is to not put your children (as well as friends and family too) in the middle of your divorce or separation and this alone will help ease their concerns or responsibilities too.

As a positive note here, I believe that our divorce actually made our boys mature a little faster than they might otherwise have done.
And that was a GOOD thing and maybe even an upside too!
