Divorce and Dealing with Kids

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I feel this is to good to pass up.

If you have children, there are many more things to consider
in your divorce than just deciding who gets to keep the
house or dividing the assets and debts. Divorce requires a
tremendous adjustment for children, as they face losing the
basic structure of their lives. Even if their home life was
volatile and filled with anger and stress, it is (or was) a
predictable part of their lives. Divorce brings change and
requires adapting to new situations and environments.

There is no way to shield them from the change, but you can
help them adjust to their new situation. Probably the most
important way to ease the transition is by having a mutually
agreed upon custody and visitation agreement. If the
children know who they will be living with and when they will
be visiting the other parent, they have a structure that they
can depend on.

I don't know what to do anymore with my soon-to-be ex-husband, we have a mutually agreed upon visitation schedule even though he has to be supervised but he still makes no effort to be part of our son's life. My son has seen his father somewhere between four and six times since April, he's beginning to ask questions about his father that I don't know how to answer. The most recent one was why doesn't his dad come to see him or play with him. Thankfully, the subject doesn't come up very often and he's still easily distracted by other things that I don't really get a chance to answer in the first place but, it still hurts to see that solemn look on his face and not be able to kiss away the pain. The fact that I don't know how to answer some of his questions makes things even harder. I'm ready to give up on his father, I don't know what else to do but ask for full physical custody.

I am sure it does hurt Krystal, but you are doing the best you can and I know you will continue to do the best you can.

Really very sad for the kids, they suffer so much between custody and gettting to live in a new place.
