I think that's part of the stress for children of divorce is that they feel like they have no control over anything that's happening to them, and if you can just give them a little bit of that control back, it's not quite as stressful for them. |
This helps children understand (that) we're still a family. He's a family with me and he's a family when he's with his dad. |
You both love the child and you both want to be with him on all the special things and it's just not possible. Healing takes a while and it happens at its own pace. |
