Divorce with children separates one parent. The children have to go with someone, but who? The sad thing is the mental and emotional distress we put our little ones/teens through because we aren't willing to be the right example to them in marriage. If divorce is the final result, it would be beneficial to the continuous growth of our children if we, although divided, can maintain a healthy relationship based on the best choices for them to progress under such extreme stress.
Being divorced for 11 years, my children have just recently began the healing process a few years ago. This was because my X husband and I couldn't come to a common ground on anything. It resulted in many challenges and even rebellious acts as a cry for help from our children. Their cry was ignored and our fight continued, not because I didn't desire the best, but my X wasn't in agreement.
Today, now he sees what selfishness has done to our family...and although I have forgiven him many years ago, the rebuilding of my relationship with my children took tears, pain and prayer.
