Cupid’s Advice:
Keeping the little ones in mind is a very important thing to consider when you’ve recently had a split. Cupid has a few ways to help you remain cordial:
1. Give it time: The best way to deal with a split is to give it space and time. Your kids need the time to let the divorce sink in, and by doing this you can help them understand that you are all still a family.
