Over the years, we have worked with teens and adult children of divorce who were raised in two homes. Many times, they literally wanted to shout, “STOP PUTTING ME IN THE MIDDLE!!!” Unfortunately, most kids never have the courage to speak up and share their voice on these matters. – Tammy Daughtry
A few months ago, we posted a blog on iMOM and had an outpouring of comments and responses in regards to children of divorced parents. We wanted to dig a little deeper into the issue and have asked the writer of that blog, Tammy Daughtry, to join us today. Susan, Tammy and I will discuss 4 things kids of divorce wish they could say to their parents!

Discussion Recap
4 things kids of divorce wish they could say to their parents:
- Please don’t say mean things about my other parent.
- Don’t make me the center of your struggle with finances.
- Don’t make time a burden on me.
- Protect my emotional stability. It’s not all about you and your suffering. I’m suffering too.
