Should You Hide Your Divorce From Your Children or Tell Them the Truth: Here's the Right Decision

07.03.2024 21:03

Many couples who decide to divorce try to hide this fact from their children. Is this right?

In fact, this decision is fundamentally wrong, because you will not be able to give them peace of mind and tranquility in this way.

On the contrary, by doing so you condemn your closest people to suffering due to omissions and possible assumptions.

The best thing you can do now is to promise to discuss the matter with them later and make it clear that for now you need to be left alone for a while.

If you ignore this recommendation, be prepared for the fact that, due to the silence, the child will choose the one who suffers the most of the two of you and take his side.

Here are a couple more tips that will help protect your child’s psyche.

You shouldn't make a friend out of your son or daughter - you should be a loving adult for them who doesn't need advice on how to behave.

Show your child that you know what to do and are in control of the situation.

Explain to your child that he will always be able to communicate with both parents and that they still love him.
