Parents have to prioritise their children to avoid them being caught in the middle of their conflict during their misunderstandings, particularly when they decide to separate.
The first thing parents have to do before, during, or even after divorce is to avoid badmouthing or speaking unfavourably against each other, which really hurts children’s feelings. Choosing between their divorced parents is a very hard thing to do for the young ones. Other things not advisable to do when you are in this situation are to avoid asking them about the other parent’s personal life, and requesting kids give your message to the other. Each of the divorced parents should not sabotage or manipulate the kids to avoid involving them in the adults’ conflict. Never make decisions about the kids without consulting the other. Avoid compensating or counting the failures of the other while trying to win the affection of the children. You can let and hear complains of the kids against the other parent, but never add something that might affect or add to their hurt feelings. It is very common for some parents to express their conflict by making baseless allegations regarding child abuse. In some cases, children undergo evaluations to testify, confess, or deny the allegations, resulting in hurt, confusion, and anger for the children. Divorced parents often fight with each other in taking the custody of the kids. They also argue for the child support given by the other parent. Most of all, you have to let the kids visit and have a good relationship with the other to enjoy their life.
