Both children and teens have reported the following feelings surrounding changes in the home:
- Feeling confused-“Who will I live with”, “Who will I spend the holidays with”? “Will we have to move”?
- Feeling unsafe because their whole world is changing.
- Upset due to parents fighting or talking about one another.
- Stresses over financial changes and impact on their life.
Children/teens can have negative emotions as well. You may notice the following signs:
- Anger
- Low self-esteem
- Isolation
- Change in behavior
- Anxiety/Fear
- Feelings of abandonment
Our therapists will offer the guidance and support necessary to navigate through this challenging time. Our goal is to help your teen to feel understood and know that they can still have a relationship with both parents despite the change.
