This young artist shares an array of thoughts in the drawing called “Broken Family”. This child appears in the center of a very compartmentalized drawing. The question WHY? at the center stands out.

Category Archives: Artwork from Child
Mine
A 13-year-old girl shares “Experiencing the Stress of Her Parent’s Divorce.” This child is clearly in the middle and trying to have a voice. Neither parent is listening. Both parents seem intent on pulling her in their direction. The dad is portrayed as using more force, feet firmly planted, leaning back and trying to gain a strong hold. Note how his hand is clasped tightly with his daughters. The mom seems to have a lighter grasp. Interestingly, the shoelaces are tied with a heart shaped bow.

Being Pulled In Two
This is an excellent portrayal of divorce for some children. Sadly, this represents the profound impact divorce can have on the child.
This drawing reveals several key points. This child is being pulled in two directions by a VERY thick rope indicating they are being pulled by two strong forces (each parent) . Each door is a different color representing the two homes. Both doors opens to a vast darkness indicating an aura of sadness and the (scary ?) unknown. The feet are firmly planted on the floor by an external item indicating determination and efforts to stay where they are. The facial expression, the mouth, eyes closed and tears streaming down indicate intense emotions. In summary, this pic is a heart wrenching representation of divorce.

Split Family
A sad depiction of divorce from the child’s perspective. This dad is totally split from his family. From one angle, this looks like the dad is walking toward his family. If so, is this what the child is hoping will happen?
