Why Your Children May need Professional Help?
Children take a direct hit when their parents separate/divorce. Children are known to be impacted by their parents broken relationship up until late adulthood. How the children fair in a divorce is not usually because the parents divorce but instead, research confirms that it is more how the adults handle the conflicts during these difficult times that leaves a long-lasting effect on the children. The outcome can be to make them stronger in managing potential conflicts of their own as they negotiate life or leave them damaged and struggling emotionally long term. Most parents want their children to come out with minimal negative impact.
