Anonymous wrote:Read The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce. Avoid wishful thinking and denial about the kids. Understand that your kids will process the divorce over many years and may feel differently about it at different times in their lives. Have realistic expectations and remember that while you can start a new romantic relationship, they will be adult children of divorce forever. They may be fine with it emotionally in time (or not), but the logistics will be a hassle forever.
Understand that you have no control over your ex's parenting. At all.
Super helpful and thoughtful for someone trying to keep themselves afloat.
