Let me break this down for you. Your guilt, shame and fear are not your friends right now, and they certainly aren’t your child’s. Taking your kid to a once-a-week therapist that your ex’s lawyer could subpoena for an evaluation in a custody fight is not going to help your child feel safe or recover emotionally from their pain. They didn’t create this situation – you did. And making this right for you, for them, is your responsibility. What you need right now is to do the one thing that most parents won’t – get help for the one person who has the chance to make a consistent impact in your child’s wellbeing, get help for the one person who has the chance to heal their world and save their trust in family, get help for the one person who should be taking responsibility to make daily changes to help their child – get help for you.

Francis David, LCSW is an expert in parent-child dynamics who has trained therapists from all over the world. He also has a focus on helping individuals in complex situations and troubled partners. There is no one better to help you learn how to parent amidst divorce or breakup.

Divorce is a turning point in your relationship with your kids and the truth is – most parents will make a series of well-meaning mistakes that will slowly erode their relationships with their children, something that doesn’t really become apparent until it’s much too late to stop. Processing the grief, fear, and inevitable fallout requires a complex understanding of the psychology underlying both child development and adult interpersonal dynamics. Francis has this expertise and can provide the right support to help you create new patterns and make sure you have the skills to ensure that love and trust and endure. This is his specialty and he is here to help. Reach out today.
