[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a child of divorced parents. As I look back I realized my family, as I thought it should be "died." It no longer existed and I really didn't like the new picture of our family. Nobody let me grieve and nobody tried to listen to my thoughts or pain, so I became a pain to them all. This is not good. As I see it now, I realized also that it seemed to me nobody was in control and taking care of us, so I took on the task and tried to straighten them all out. This again is not good. An elementary age child simply doesn't have the wisdom and ability to deal with all of this and in reality shouldn't have to do so.
 
Stories are good and here's some possible suggestions on books at https://list.ly/list/2EUp-mending-hearts-in-the-midst-of-broken-families. But as has been said, they are not always real. I really think that maybe folks don't want to face reality and write it down. And to be fair my reality may not be your reality and so forth. But for me I felt robbed of my life. I don't know that it would have been any better if my parents had stayed together and I don't know the circumstances of your marriage or divorce.  In my family, I just wanted everybody to "grow up" and honor the vows they had taken. Hang in there Mom, you are on the right track trying to help. 
 
I pray for God to give you wisdom and understanding. I pray for you as you enter this phase of your life. I pray for your children and your husband. I pray that you will find the support that you need. I pray that your children will receive the help they need as they process this loss and learn to live in the next season of their lives. I pray that God will heal and bless this family. Amen.[/quote]

I’d like to second the first paragraph. Though I was older, the things  that hurt the most were no one talking to me about it, letting me grieve and the loss of my family. [/quote]
