Divorce can be as difficult for kids as it is for adults. Many times we adults forget that kids are doing their best to work through grief issues surrounding the loss of their family as they have known it. While I don't always agree that kids need to know all details surrounding a parental divorce, I do believe that it is important to make sure they know the facts as clearly as possible...especially if one parent may be distorting those facts to make him/herself look better in the eyes of the child. When you state facts, do so without commentary.....just the facts.....kids are smart enough to figure out reality from the facts they are given!
