Divorce
Even after couples divorce, their relationship does not cease to exist, as most ex-partners share custody over their children. How do couples manage the difficult transition from being partners to being co-parents and how do children adjust to a life with divorced parents? We consider processes that help or hinder post-divorce adjustment, such as dealing with loss and grief, forgiveness and parentification.
