Some people may be hesitant to attend divorce counseling, for fear that the counselor may try to push them back together into a relationship. They may also think that the therapist will judge them. However, this is not the case at Relationships Matter Therapy.

Co-parenting– Benefits for your children
Through your co-parenting partnership, your kids should recognize that they are more important than the conflict that ended your marriage—and understand that your love for them will prevail despite changing circumstances. Kids whose divorced parents have a cooperative relationship:
- Feel secure. When confident of the love of both parents, kids adjust more quickly and easily to divorce and new living situations, and have better self-esteem.
- Benefit from consistency. Co-parenting fosters similar rules, discipline, and rewards between households, so children know what to expect, and what’s expected of them.
- Better understand problem solving. Children who see their parents continuing to work together are more likely to learn how to effectively and peacefully solve problems themselves.
- Have a healthy example to follow. By cooperating with the other parent, you are establishing a life pattern your children can carry into the future to build and maintain stronger relationships.
- Are mentally and emotionally healthier. Children exposed to conflict between co-parents are more likely to develop issues such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD.
You don’t have to go through this alone.
Trying to cope with serious marital problems or the effects of divorce alone can be exhausting and make an already difficult situation even harder to handle.
Divorce support counseling is a great way to ensure you’re able to deal with it as successfully as possible.
Let us help you create a fulfilling life where you gain insight from your previous relationship struggles.
