[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I just want to say that you must be a truly loving parent. When some move toward divorce the process is so emotional for them that they forget how much this impacts the child. I’m sure these are tough decisions to make but the priotizarion of your children is really wonderful. [/quote]

+1. When I knew I was ready to begin divorcing, I researched a good therapist to help me, and a good clinical psychologist to help support my child. It has helped immensely to have a separate practitioner dedicated solely to her, early in the process, to set a baseline for her development, and then support the transition with expert guidance. It has helped to inform my approach in an objective way, identify ways to help her developmentally so that, as best we can, the disruptive changes don't cause major setbacks in her development. Another benefit to proactive counseling, down the line you can refer to this safe space of clinical expertise looking at the child's best interest for neutral co-parenting techniques. I picked a location central to her school, easy for both parents to access, and the office does a wide variety of testing, services that may or may not be needed in the future. Good luck, OP.[/quote]
