How Should Divorced Couples Behave Towards Their Children?
It is extremely difficult for a child to adapt to changing conditions and a new life order after the divorce process. Even if spouses are separated, they should be aware that they are continuing their parental duties and should pay attention to approaching the child with a common stance. Approaches that harm the child's self-perception, especially during a period when they are building not only their physical but also their mental development and personality, negatively affect the child's future.
Divorce and Lack of Love
Problems in the parent relationship are not something caused or solvable by the child. In this regard, the responsibility for the decision to live separately should not be conveyed directly or indirectly to the child. The decision to divorce primarily means separation from parents for the child. To erase this thought from the child's mind, parents should attach importance to spending regular time with the child, meeting their needs, and fulfilling their emotional and physical responsibilities towards the child. Thus, the child does not associate divorce with concepts such as lack of love, neglect, or abandonment. Instead of blaming themselves or their parents, they seek ways to cope with such negativities in life. The closer their circumstances are to those before the divorce; the less the child is affected by emotions such as guilt and anger.
