Children Matter

When friends and family with children go through a divorce, one of the things I would like them to hear and thoughtfully consider, is what their children are thinking. How does the break-up impact the kids? But it's hard to ask them. And children sometimes don't talk when they are asked. They don't know what to say. Often they lack words for the feelings they have and they may not even understand their feelings.

Her lack of understanding can offer us some very meaningful insight.
