A divorce is traumatizing for any family and the anger and distress can affect you for months and even years. For your kids the drama and bitterness is amplified and magnified ten fold. Your children should become one of your primary concerns, because you must shield them from any suffering and mental or emotional stress over your failed marriage.

Many children go through their parents' divorce with relatively few problems or permanent negative effects. However, for other children, the effects of divorce can be traumatic and long-lived. Changes in a child's living arrangements, time with parents, education and lifestyle can trigger the body's fight-or-flight response -- anger or fear. But when a child cannot adequately express or mentally process those emotions, the child may feel extremely powerless and "freeze."
Most parents waste their childrens future happiness and emotional security with years of day after day complaining, blaming and getting lost in the turmoil, legal battles, and fears of family failure and financial. They expend their resources and energy in worries, battles and struggles that are outside their control and fail to focus on what is within their control.
Every divorcing couple should watch this and think..
