Kids and Divorce Cook County, Illinois

Don’t expose them to any breakdowns

Two of the most common emotions associated with divorce are anxiety and depression. There is just so much emotional turmoil to overcome that it is impossible not to end up a little stressed and sad.

It is critical to your well-being to avoid bottling up these emotions. That is one of the most self-destructive habits you can develop during this challenging time.

However, it is important that you find appropriate outlets to vent about those feelings. Reach out to family members and close friends. It is certainly worth looking into seeing a therapist to help you sort through what you are experiencing.

Do not, under any circumstances, use your children as a sounding board. This is already a heartbreaking process for them, and they should not be expected to talk you through your struggles.

This does not mean you should try to feign fake emotional strength. It is healthy to admit that you are sad to your kids and show your vulnerabilities, so that they know it is OK to feel that way too. But any emotional breakdowns you might go through should be away from their eyes and ears and in the company of a trusted confidant who is more emotionally equipped to help you.

Divorce isn’t just something to survive. It’s something that can set you free

Divorce isn’t just something to survive. It’s something that can set you free. The Neuroscience of New Beginnings Here’s the first revelation that changes everything: Your brain is literally designed to help you rebuild after trauma. Dr. Melanie Greenberg’s research shows that novel experiences trigger cascades of neurotransmitters that create new neural pathways, providing alternate routes around your brain’s pain centers toward possibility. This isn’t just feel-good psychology. It’s hard science. Every new experience you embrace after divorce isn’t just a distraction. It’s a reconstruction. You’re literally rewiring your brain for resilience and joy. Consider my own story. Before my divorce, completing a triathlon seemed laughable. But when my life cracked open and everything familiar fell away, I became curious about what else might be possible. Training didn’t just reshape my body; it transformed my mind. Each early-morning run taught me that discipline isn’t punishment but devotio...
