[quote=Anonymous] My dc is 7, and doing really well. Divorce was 7 months ago, told dc about 6 months before. I think it helped a lot in our case in that dc stayed in the same school and routines for the most part. I sold ex the house and moved nearby. We do 2-2-5 so having the set weekdays has been good for dc, they always know the plan. We're low conflict and can communicate calmly so dc never sees any tension-unlike in the marriage. One thing I think has helped is that I'm always positive about dc's time with ex, for example 'oh you guys are going to the zoo? I know you like that, have fun!' Our dc does not tote anything back and forth (other than their school bag). At first, dc wanted to bring things back and forth-and we were fine with that-but after a month or so they were used to the schedule and that faded away, although we're more than happy to pick up/drop off something if they want. I think that helps with happiness too.[/quote]
