Your decision to divorce has given you enough pressure already. You don't need another guilt trip from a well meaning family member. You've considered everything, now you can consider your kids' future after the marriage is over. You want to make sure your kids are REALLY okay emotionally long after the divorce is over. The reason divorce damages kids emotionally (long term) is NOT because their parents live in two locations, but because they live in a cold war tension that tears kids apart. You both lack a critical skill that will protect your kids from this pressure: You cannot eliminate your negative feelings in 60 seconds. You tell your kids divorce is not their fault, but they do a strange thing: They somehow decide it is. Now is the time, before the divorce is even final, for the two of you to learn how to communicate without tension and bitterness after the marriage is over. Learn it now while you are still willing. The way the two of you communicate over the next 10+ years will determine how emotionally stable and successful your children become. It's not about the two of you anymore...it's about the kids now. The Communication Program of the Marriage Lifeline will teach both of you how to communicate, cooperate and raise your children from two locations WITHOUT putting stress on them through tension and conflict. Your children need the two of you at peace so they can grow up feeling secure and happy about who they are. Click here to learn more details about the Communication Program
