divorce360 Ask An Expert ::
How do I take the emotion out of my divorce? Don’t let guilt rule you. “Please release me, let me go” goes the country song, but don’t give up everything to buy your freedom. Your spouse will still be unhappy, and you’ll be equally unhappy when you find yourself impoverished by your foolish gesture ...

By Ginita Wall
Almost 60 percent of the people surveyed in a July 2007 Pew Research Center report said divorce is better than an unhappy marriage.

Two -thirds of the 2,020 people agreed it's better for children. If you're ending your marriage, here's how you can help your kids through it.
Simple Step :: 1

Put them first.

Remember that your kids come first. Put your needs aside to help them through the divorce the best they can.
Simple Step :: 2

Your kids can be selfish.

Be prepared that your kids are more interested in what's going on with them than what's happening to you.
Simple Step :: 3

Keep them away from court.

If you're going to court or mediation, leave your kids with their grandparents or someone you trust. They don't need to be exposed to the legal workings of your breakup.
Simple Step :: 4

Be vigilant.

Watch for sudden emotional and behavioral changes. If your child stops eating or suddenly flunks classes, these are signs that he isn't coping with the divorce.
Simple Step :: 5

Get counseling.

You and your kids may need to talk with a professional to help you through.
