Creating traditions in the blended family promote unity and a sense of belonging.
To me, the difference between a good marriage and a great marriage is conviction.
Divorce can leave children feeling like defectors.
Divorce is war and unfortunately, some parents live in constant entanglements with their ex-spouses and they shift aside the issues that post-divorce can leave on the shoulders of their children.
Children live what they learn.
Divorce is a journey that the children involved do not ask to take. They are forced along for a ride where the results are dictated by the road their parents decide to travel.
