Divorce

Separation and the divorce process is an enormously difficult and emotionally challenging time for parents and children. There are many entry points for resentment, anger, grief, guilt, confusion, fear, shame, anxiety, torn loyalties and other intense feelings. If children are involved, the stress level is likely to be even higher.

Many people perceive divorce as a personal failure. Families By Design can help you work through those feelings, make sense of the end of your marriage and obtain a new perspective. Divorce can be an opportunity to grow and become a stronger, wiser person – qualities that will serve you in future relationships. At the same time, we offer compassionate support for your children who may feel uncertain about what life will be like, or angry at the prospect of mom and dad splitting up for good.
