Life After Divorce Support Group
This community is dedicated to starting over after a divorce. With the marriage over, how do individuals begin a new chapter in their lives and what hurdles do they face? Divorce is often one of the most traumatic periods in a person's life. Studies show it is the second-most stressful event in life, after the death of a spouse.
So after the divorce is final and you have moved on and are fortunate enough to meet someone else and have a loving relationship how do you make that work with children in the picture? I have two adult children and one 7 year old. I have been apart from my ex husband for almost two years now. My boyfriend has recently moved in with us. I find that it is very difficult to not get involved in arguments that arise between my 19 year old and my boyfriend. The little one loves him and refers to him as her step dad. My older daughter loves him too but when they fight I find they both drag me right into the middle of it looking for me to choose a side. It is really hard to deal with. Can you share your experiences please? I would really appreciate knowing I am not alone on this one.
If your family doesn't want to try therapy, go yourself and see what the therapist recommends.
Hugs to you!
If things don't settle, then I agree that family therapy can be useful.
