void

the hardest thing about divorce, when there are kids from the union that is broken, is that individual parents become unable to help their kids solve some problems. certainly there are problems that kids encounter for which the parents are not able to solve. it's just that in a divorce situation there are problems for which each parent lacks sufficient credibility in helping resolve because of the fracture of the original union. while one parent may be able to help in addressing issues for the kids that may pertain to other portions of their life, anything pertaining to the other parent is a matter for which the other parent is rarely, if ever, able to really help in bringing about a resolution...the divorce fractures a level of connectedness that isn't able to be bridged with sufficient validity. the parent is left to trust in the kids. and, in actuality, that is the best gift to share with a child of any age. it just doesn't feel all that sufficient.
