Ask Dr. Tseday: July 9, 2009
AD from Los Angeles, CA asks: Two doctors have advised me to start taking my children to a psychologist so that they get support until my divorce is finalized. From reading all of your articles, I know you have a different perspective on things. Do you think the same way about this?
Dr. Tseday responds: It depends on how you and their father handle the idea of divorcing, the divorce process, and how both of you behave after the divorce is finalized. Parents are to be the primary support for their children. Although the divorce will have an impact on your children, the degree of that impact would be determined by how you two manage the whole thing. The best possible scenario under the circumstances would be for you two to be as civil and decent as possible, and put your children’s well-being first.
