It is fact that when a house is burning, it hardly matters who set the fire. If there is no fire exit, everyone inside the house is bound to suffer. Same goes when you are getting divorced. If you have a child then it becomes your primary responsibility to let the kid know about the reality. But try to follow few steps before confiding.
- Do not make any sorts of announcements in hurry. Hold yourself for the right time. Do not wait to disclose till everything is over. Do it during the early stages.
- Offer quality time to your kid. It is your duty to take time and clear all their doubts. Have patience and answer all their queries.
- You can take your husband with you when disclosing it to them. There is no need to go into detail.
- Do not play the blame game in front of your child. Even if the situation is very delicate, never utter any negative words about your partner. This may hamper your child’s mental peace.
- Keep it simple to your child. Your child may get confused and face problems in understanding. Maintain a neutral tone. Reduce their shock and maintain peace and harmony.
