After the Separation

Children's thoughts

Most of the time kids want their parents to stay together. But sometimes kids wish that their parents would separate because things feel so bad and no one is happy.


Did you ever feel this way?
Other children said:


Yes, I sometime felt this way.



My parents were fighting all the time and I was scared.



Once the police had to come because my parents were screaming so loud. Now they don't live together anymore and it's better.



In some moments I wished my parents would separate. I felt bad to think that way. But now that they don't live together anymore I think it was good.



When I'm alone I sometimes think that I don't want to live with both of my parents anymore because I think they don't get along.



I feel that no one is happy at the moment so it would be good for everyone to go different ways from now on.

You don't need to feel bad if you wish your parents would stop living together when you feel the same way. If things don't feel good and you would like them to change. That is normal.
