Stephen Hawking is famous for his contribution to cosmology and theoretical physics. He is also quoted for his many insights, including "Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change." A separation is one of the most profound sources of change one can face in life. It is how you handle that change that will define you, and, more importantly, affect your children. Children from separated families can be more likely to experience more challenges in life, including depression, isolation, regression, and reduced academic achievement. It is in fact not necessarily the separation alone that adversely affects children; it is more the ongoing parental conflict that can have a significant and long-lasting impact on children of separated parents. The emotional storm that befalls a family can be complex and overwhelming. There can be sadness, depression, anger, jealousy, spite and general stress and anxiety plaguing a separated spouse as the future stands uncertain. However, there does stand one certainty; the love each parent has for their children.You want to ensure that your children not only survive but thrive. Be strong, put your differences aside, and insulate the children from the conflict. Be supportive of the other parent and his or her relationship with the children. Do not let your upset toward your former spouse cloud your judgment and spill over to the children. Be smart; be an adult; be a parent. Use your intelligence, and adapt to the new situation in a way that is positive for your children, and your strength will be their salvation and your legacy.
