Divorce is a nasty and sometimes bitter process that so many men go through each and every year.
Making it much more difficult is the fact that many men are also fathers, and will be subjecting their children to everything that comes with divorce.
Being a father myself and having gone through divorce, there are a few things that I can share with you that might make the journey a bit easier.
Over Communicate - This is really key in dealing with your children and what they will go through.
Its important (no matter what the ages of the children) to take the time to explain to them what is going on.
And certainly, most importantly over communicating the fact that you love them deeply is probably one of the most important things.
Listen - Children going through divorce will have a lot of fears and questions.
Take the time to hear (and listen) to each one of their fears and concerns, and take the time to answer their questions.
Children are going to feel a lot going through this, and if they have their questions answered, it will certainly make it easier.
Don't Bad Mouth - Be very careful not to say anything derogatory towards your ex wife.
Children will view this as an attack on themselves.
Also be careful not to introduce your issues into the lives of your children.
Spend time with your children without feeling obligated to tell them everything that you are going through, or how bad your ex is.
Fathers go through so much during divorce, and unfortunately not a lot is written on the subject.
I hope this information has been helpful to you.
