Marriage is often very difficult. What begins with excitement, hopes and dreams sometimes ends. Divorce can sometimes be even more difficult. Two million people divorce each year. Half of all marriages.
Divorces can sometimes become a source of high conflict. Partners who were once deeply in love become resentful, disrespectful and hurtful toward one another.
When children are added to the mix, the confusion and conflict intensifies and can be extremely painful. A child is often stuck in a loyalty bind between parents that he or she loves who can intensely dislike and mistrust each other. Although each parent may feel protective of his or her child, sometimes reducing conflict with the co-parent may seem impossible.
A child's healthy emotional and social development is at risk when parents are unable to establish a cooperative parenting agreement.
Insight Counselors can provide services to assist. We are certified in mediation, and can also provide sessions in Parent Coordination, to help each parent learn the elements of cooperative co-parenting.
