These wounds were old ones caused by my husband’s and my divorce years earlier. Our divorce is amicable. We’ve each remarried, and our households are stable. We coparent effectively. Given our circumstances, we’re coping very well. Still, the loss of our intact family affects our children, and likely always will. Our divorce changed the course of our lives. Even though it has not been aggravated or repeated, the wound of our divorce causes our children grief.

We may be happier now, but our kids still grieve over our divorce
