The Breaking of the Family...

Divorce is a horrible process for anyone who is involve, whether it is the wife, husband, or children, no one enjoys divorce.

There are six stages of divorce-
1. Emotional
2. Legal
3. Economic
4. Coparental
5. Community
6. Psychic

Which stage do you think it is most harmful and toughest stage to get through?! You guessed it... Psychic!

I think that last stage, psychic stage, is the most important stage because it can effect how the rest of the stages go in a divorce. The psychic stage means that the divorce is final and that both parties realize the marriage is over, but they are still in each other’s lives whether it is for good reasons or bad reasons. Most of the time it is because they still want to harm one another, but sometimes it is because they have children and have to be apart of each other’s lives. 

This stage is the most detrimental stage and can be the most harmful stage if there are children involved. This point is important because mothers and fathers need to stop being cruel to one another no matter how hurt they are because they could ruin their child’s relationship with the other parent. A lot of feelings are hurt during a divorce, but mothers and fathers need to remember that it was their decision to sign those papers not their child’s so they need to focus on an amicable relationship for them and not for each other. The children did not want this you guys did!!! We need to be less selfish personally and focus on bettering relationships for children who are more important.
