This post goes out to divorced parents everywhere who live with more than their fair share of parental guilt.
As divorced parents, we worry about how our divorce will affect our children. Will they be treated differently by their peers? Will they act out? Will they be overcome with sadness leading them down a path of destructive behavior?
Even as our children grow into adulthood, the guilt persists. Family events can be a bit complicated. Both my former spouse and I have remarried. Sometimes there are just too many parents and stepparents in one place at one time. Though it is great that we all get along, I always wonder if it is awkward for my children.
