Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has experience of organising some sort of counselling or therapy for their child to deal with the aftermath of parents separating?
My ex and I are on the verge of telling our 7 year old that we’re separating. I am having weekly counselling with Relate (which I find very helpful) and it’s occurred to me that it would be wonderful if our children could have something similar.
I’ve read all the books and websites and know what I’m supposed to say and do in the aftermath but at the end of the day, I’m not a professional, and if a fully grown adult needs professsional help to come to terms with things, surely my child should be given the same opportunity?
Is this sensible? Has anyone been through the same thought process? Organised anything?
