Children suffer when mom and dad divorce. Children take the attitude that parents can fix anything.  That no problem is too great for their parents to handle.  Divorce shatters the child’s basic belief and security regarding the parents’ abilities to care for them.   For some, the emotional scars may have long-lasting and more visible consequences.  

 

Divorce is like a death in the family.  Everything is changed.  Holiday gatherings are not the same.  Birthday celebrations are different.  Day to day activities may differ.   In divorce, the dynamics shift. Relationships that at one time offered strength and security, are now cast aside. Everyone in the family needs to adjust to the ‘loss’ of the family.  The reality of divorce is that the demise of a family is a sad affair for everyone involved.  Nothing is the same after!  

In divorce, everyone is impacted differently.  Divorce takes something from everyone!

#350, Death of a Family

Divorce from the eye of the child- in one word!!! Divorce happens for different reasons. Whether the divorce is expected or unexpected-the event is still traumatizing and sometimes an overwhelming experience.  This artist expresses their emotions in one word.  WHY?

#349, Why?

Divorce takes a toll on everyone involved.  Especially of the most innocent victims!  The child!  Sometimes the damage is so intense and horrific that their world view is forever altered.  This artist shares the poignant reminder of their experience with divorce and does not believe in LOVE or MARRIAGE!!!!!  How utterly sad!

#348, Not Believe in Love or Marriage

Parents play an irreplaceable role in the lives of their children. This vital relationship impacts a child’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.  Children are influenced by what they hear and see! 

The relationship between the child and the targeted parent is forever altered.  A child has a right to have a loving and open relationship with both parents!  Both parents have a right to love and have a relationship with their child!!!

#347, Psychological Impact!

This seems to personify DIVORCE in one pic!   This is an ad used by an attorney!  So, we have the dad one one side of the mountain and the mom and children on the other.  The oldest child is leaning into and nestled into mom indicating he is aligned with her.  Clearly, the dad has no access to the family.  No one is smiling.  In fact, the looks on the mom and children’s faces seems to portray a ‘What do you want’ look.  THIS IS the reality of divorce for too many parents (in this case the father).

The most bewildering aspect of this is that a legal professional is using this to solicit business!!!!!  Does this mean that they ‘understand’ divorce?  Do they have the ability, knowledge and skill to represent a father who has lost his family?  Interesting questions!

Overall, this is a disgusting (and dare we say accurate?)  representation of divorce!!!

#346, Typical Divorce?

An artists’ interpretation of divorce.  

The artists comments: “There is a boy. He’s holding the family’s heart. He’s been holding it since he was born. But, a few years later, the heart got a crack in it. The boy became scared and he tried to mend the heart, but that didn’t help him. The heart would continue to crack, until one day, it was severed in two. It fell out of the boy’s hands, and shattered into a million pieces.”

This art piece was created YEARS AFTER the divorce.  The feelings and emotions are clearly portrayed. THIS is the reality of divorce!  

Instead of focusing on playing with his toys and spending times with friends, this child is focused on the heart of his family-that is shattered. Seemingly, the divorce is a part of his daily thoughts, as an adult- at least enough to create this drawing.

Divoce is between the parents-About the child!!!!

#344, The Family Heart

Here is the reality of divorce!  Quite simply, DIVORCE shatters the family unit!  Divorce can be a time of major disorganization. Divorce changes things for everyone. Family communication is now different.  Daily routine is different.  Each person is altered due to the process of the divorce.  Even a ‘good’ divorce impacts who the child becomes.
