Parenting
Advice

Parents! We're here for you.

 
 

Children will bring both blessings and great stress to your divorce experience.

 

The blessings arise from the love and company children offer – they will be there to cheer you and hug you when you really need it, make you laugh when you are in a black hole, and give you a reason to keep going when checking out seems inviting.
  

The stress arises when they need more comfort, care and support than you have the time, energy and other resources to give, in these tough circumstances.

 

One way or another, parenting is an intense experience! When the intensity can be a burden, we are going to bring you help and company to see you through.
