Your Adjustment
| |
Are you a good parent? Do you try to provide your child
with their material necessities? That's great if you do! Now, do you
also try to co-parent with their other parent? Hmmm.....
Do you think an adult child of divorce (or born
out-of-wedlock) will remember that movie you didn't take him/her to as a
child? Probably not. BUT:
 | Do you think they'll remember the time you didn't let them
see their dad? |
| Do you think they'll remember that they had to hide their
feelings for their dad, stepmother, siblings, to spare your feelings? |
| How about the time you bad mouthed their dad? |
| How about the tension in the air when daddy came to pick
them up? |
| How about the dirty looks you threw your daddy's way or his
new family's way? |
Have you done any of this? What kind of memories are you
giving your child? What kind of example are you setting? What are you
teaching them about love, forgiveness, moving on and living life fully and
happily?
These kinds of things can wound a child deeply and leave a
lasting, unpleasant memory. Don't do this to your child.
