Divorce is a life stressor – It is not a guaranteed trauma.
We often find ourselves thinking, “I’m scared this will damage my child forever.” And this stops us from considering divorce. Yet, we often fail to acknowledge how resilient children are; we fail to acknowledge how seeing their parents unhappy or upset impacts them.

They help the young person make sense of the loss – lesser contact with the non-custodial parent, work through the “broken home” narrative.
