The child-healthy divorce : how to protect your child's mental and emotional health through a breakup or separation
Komisar, Erica2026
Books
For children, a good divorce may be better than a bad marriage, but that doesn't make the split any easier. Legal decisions have emotional consequences. Well-meaning parents can become hostile, insecure, or jealous, and well-adjusted kids can grieve the loss of the family unit, rage at the pain that they feel, or prey on parental guilt. Here, acclaimed psychoanalyst and award-winning author Erica Komisar marshals more than 30 years of clinical experience and extensive research to show readers how to make an effective plan that centres children's needs, including how to talk about what's happening, how to maintain normal routines, and what to know about kids of different ages. For example, interrupting a child's attachment with the primary caregiver before age three can lead to behavioural problems later in life. Teens going to college also need a stable home as a foundation to establish their own independence.
