Problem: Article: Your children will likely be angry and upset once you tell them about the divorce, so try not to react similarly. Wait to break the news when you can discuss the subject effectively and still be in control of your emotions. Remember, the point of the discussion is to be there for the kidsthey shouldn't have to comfort you. It is best to tell the children when both parents are present, so you can present a united front. You and your spouse should decide how much you will share and who will do most of the talking. Agree about everything in advance. If your marriage is ending due to abuse or your spouse simply will not cooperate, just plan to tell the children on your own. Your words can show a united front, too. Try to use "we" as much as possible instead of he, she, or I. The age of your kids should help guide you in what you share about the divorce. You may also want to consider the maturity and development of each of your children. For example, to a preschooler, you might say, "Sweetie, we will be moving into separate houses. You will stay here with Mommy, but you'll still see Daddy on weekends." Slightly older children to adolescents care more about how the divorce will impact their lives. Therefore, you might want to say something like, "Mom and Dad are separating. We won't live together anymore, but you will still be able to go to your same school. You will spend half your time with Mom and half with Dad." Meanwhile, teenagers may have a much better understanding of relationships and may play a role in some of the decision-making. You might say, "We are getting a divorce. We both will continue to live in the same town, so you have a choice of who you'd like to stay with." Tell them as much as you know about how their lives will change, such as where they will live, where they will go to school, and where the dog will be. Do this without going into the messy details of why the divorce is happening. Skip any information that places blame on either parent. If you'd like to offer a brief explanation of why you are divorcing to older kids, you might say, "Mom and Dad aren't happy together anymore." If they have questions, answer them as fully and candidly as possible without straying from your plan. " Tell them that it was a mutual decision made by the adults. If you've been arguing a lot, acknowledge that and explain that the two of you are trying to determine what is best for the family. Resist the urge to point fingers or pull the kids into the middle of adult affairs. For instance, say, "Mom and Dad have grown apart. We are fighting a lot. It will be best if we live apart." It's best to break the news as a group with all your children present. After you break the news with everyone, follow up with each child on their own. However, if you believe an older child's reaction may upset any younger children, you might choose to break the news separately and tailor each response to the specific child.
Summary: Get your own emotions in check. Plan to do it together, if possible. Select an age-appropriate explanation. Provide need-to-know information only. Avoid using phrases that include the words "fault" or "blame. Have a follow-up with each individual child.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Acceptance can be hard, but it will help you heal. Remember that no one is perfect. Sometimes we hurt others by accident and other times on purpose. Rather than repressing or ignoring what you feel, see acceptance as a form of catharsis. For example, let's say that you had a really busy day at work, and forgot that you had plans to meet with your sister after work. At the last minute you're caught up in helping your company with something, and completely forgot about your plans with your sister. You forget to check your phone until two hours after the date/time you planned to meet her. When you realize what's happened, you call your sister. Take ownership of your mistake. And make plans to reschedule if she's willing. When you have negative thoughts about yourself and who you hurt, tell yourself, "I accept my mistakes. I have learned from them." If you are feeling guilty about what you did, you are already expressing a very honest emotion the sense that you aren't perfect. Take this emotion to heart, and avoid repeating your mistakes. Don't continue to hurt someone what you know it's wrong. You are not automatically a bad person for hurting someone. Sometimes we end up hurting others because we felt hurt ourselves. Do you feel like you've been hurt? Practice self-love. Take time to reflect on who you are and who you want to be. Take time away from the stress of work, school, and life. Think of three things that you love about yourself. Focus on aspects of your personality. By looking at your strengths, you can remember what good things you have to offer. This may seem simple, but oftentimes it can be difficult if the person is hurt, no talking to you, and avoiding you. Don't assume that saying, "I'm sorry," will fix things. It may take time for someone to believe or trust you. Apologize in-person if possible. See if there is a way to talk with them one-on-one rather than in public. If in-person isn't possible, then a phone call is the next best thing. Avoid apologizing via chat, text message, or email. This form of communication may skew things, and make it more difficult to be direct and supportive if they're still feeling hurt. For example, instead of texting back and forth with a friend you've hurt, ask to talk with her one-on-one the next time you see her. The apology will be more genuine and straightforward when done in person. Consider giving them some time to recover before talking with them about what happened. Don't try to patch things up if the person is shocked or stressed. They may have difficulty listening to your apology. Ask the person if there is anything you can do to make it up to them. If you missed a dinner date, for example, offer to take them out at a later date your treat. If things continue to be rocky between you and the person you've hurt, consider writing a thoughtful and apologetic letter. Think about what you want to say and why before you just write and send it. Think about the letter as a way to let go of being hurt, rather than trying to assign blame. But don't expect that the letter will set everything right again. Listen to what the person says. After an apology it's easy to want to hear an immediate "You're forgiven," but this is the person's opportunity to get that hurt off their chest. The most loving thing you can do is listen with empathy and not become defensive. Give the other person time to really air it out if that's what they need. Everyone makes mistakes at one point or another. It is a fact of life. While some mistakes are in our control, others are not. Take initiative when you've hurt someone due to your own actions and mistakes. While you can't take back the past, that doesn't mean history is going to repeat itself. Talk with others that you trust about what you did and how you're feeling after hurting someone. Get the perspective of someone who doesn't necessarily have an emotional investment in the situation. An objective look from an outsider's point of view may help. For example, instead of asking a mutual friend for advice about another friend you've hurt, ask your parents, an older sibling, or someone you trust who doesn't have a close relationship with your friend who you've hurt. Think about what you can do better next time. Think about the different ways that you could have handled the situation better.

SUMMARY: Accept your mistakes. Believe in yourself. Ask for forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes.
