Divorce and Family Disruption

Is Divorce With Kids Selfish?

In this insightful article, Lee Block answers the question, “Is Divorce With Kids Selfish?” She explains:

Divorce is selfish by necessity when you think about it. No matter what, someone gets hurt. If it isn’t you, then it is your kids and if it isn’t your kids, then it is your ex, but in the end, someone has to pay the price. The question is, who can adjust the best?

If you work with children of divorce, it is important that you understand the perspective of the parents as well. Reading this article will give you a glimpse into the head of one divorced mom. Reading through the comments will reveal a wide variety of excuse making and pent up anger. Either way, it will be very educational.
