Children learn what’s normal from you. What they see is what they will come to expect and accept in their own relationships as adults. If you're in a toxic or abusive relationship, the strength and example you need to show them is in making a change - not in putting up with it. Kids need love and to see strong, positive role models. What they don’t need to see is misery and suffering under the false belief of keeping them happy.
There is no perfect formula for parenting, but this is a good start. Parenting is complicated, but communication and boundaries are the non-negotiable foundations for success. No matter how much they protest, children feel safest and happiest when they know they're loved and know there are rules. For more tips check us out at www.guystuffcounseling.com

Divorce and split families are a reality for many of us. And, many of us find ourselves angry at our former partners. Your child, however, does not need to share that anger. They did not ask for the circumstances that they are experiencing and still deserve to love and feel happy with each parent. Children want to love you both - allow them that.
