Separation and Divorce are difficult times for Families. Sometimes there are no other better options to staying in situations that are upsetting to all involved. Relationships can deteriorate to the point where you need to lead separate lives.
The result is the need for creating new spaces to live.
Creating two homes for families and children may seem a difficult task.
The key principle is that children need to know that they are loved by their parents.
As long as children are supported in the process of creating new homes they will adapt to the changes.
In creating new spaces take the time to listen to the children. What are their views? What are their needs? Listening to the children will help them through these changes.
Children consider themselves a part of the both parents. Children want to have relationships with both their Mom and Dad. They will live in two houses as two separate families.
You will always be connected as your children grow up. There will be school functions, sports activities, Graduations, Marriages, Grandchildren, etc.
Creating new spaces and resolving communication issues will promote positive future relationships for the long-term happiness of your Family in two houses.
Mediation promotes positive communication and understanding of each other. This will pave the way for ongoing respectful and peaceful gathering of your Family for years to come.
