Separation with children

Separation with children

A separation with children is a unique emotional challenge for the whole family, because no matter what age the sons and daughters concerned are: They always suffer from the separation of the parents, because they love both equally and preferably together with both in one Want to live in a house or an apartment.
However, this is rarely possible – instead, one parent usually moves out of the shared apartment, while the other stays with the children.

In the opposite case, it can happen that the children are torn out of their familiar surroundings, visit new schools or kindergartens and have to build up a completely new circle of friends. This is often the case if the permanently responsible parent wants to build a new life with the children in another city for various reasons. This is a great emotional burden for the children because they have to completely reorient themselves, which they do better or worse depending on their age and temperament.
Children of school age or even during puberty are fully aware of the prehistory of a separation, which has often been preceded by a dispute lasting for months or even years. Small taunts among the parents, but also unpleasant silence strain the children and they make their own rhyme about it.
