  • Damage Control for Teens and Divorce (10-22-2009)

     

    TODAY’S SCRIPT:

    Teens who have experienced divorce in their family often feel isolated and left behind.

    A split in the family can even make a teen feel as if he is no longer a whole person. And, when their parents remarry, teens respond to the change as a signal that they really are now all on their own.

    From a teen’s point of view, the parents who came together to create him have each gone a different way, and may have already connected with someone new. The older your teen at the time of your divorce, the more disconnected they will feel when separation becomes reality.

    While younger kids are more resilient, parents thinking about divorce would do well to consider the strong affect that divorce can have on teenagers.
