Emotions
Divorce: do you live with the fall-out from another person’s failed relationship?
One of the greatest gifts you can give a child is a happy childhood. Sadly divorce happens. The impact goes far wider than the couple who have decided to split – their children, parents, aunts, uncles and wider family, friends and new partners.
The true impact of divorce is often not spoken of in a family and can continue for many tens of years after the decree absolute. Even new partners and their families can be caught up in the web of emotions. There are those awkward family gatherings when you are not sure who to invite and if everyone will get along alright.
