There is no perfect parent and going through a divorce or suffering the after effects can be overwhelming. So, here is an article with some proactive ways to adjust to the new life of single parenting and some tips to help you and your kids get through divorce.

Celebrating Holidays – Divorce Style

Holidays can be brutal for the children of divorced parents. Kids often feel incomplete.

Try to respect the fact the kids are thinking of their other biological parent and their nostalgia for the past is not a direct shot at you.
