Going Through a Divorce? 3 Steps You Can Take to Save Your Kids From Some of the Pain by Ingrid Echter

• Schedule your own time with a support group (be it friends, family or professional help), to release your frustrations and everything negative that you want to get out of yourself.
• Do things you enjoy and that make you happy so you bring that energy to your child.
