Go through old photo albums and dig out those wedding pictures. It's important for kids of all ages to know they were wanted and enjoyed. Reassure the child there were happy times, that his or her father or mother both had strong and decent qualities the other loved. Ask your mom about the days when they fell in love. God created you for a purpose.
Real love can last forever, but too few people take time to discover what it really involves.
I think it was my fault, because I heard Mom and Dad fighting over me. Parents who aren't getting along will fight over the issues involved in parenting. To a child listening through the walls, it may seem every fight is his or her fault. Younger children are more likely than older kids to blame themselves for a divorce, but all children need to know most arguments about them result from problems in the marriage, not the other way around. Kids, by definition, lack maturity.
