Divorce, thank whatever god you worship, is a finite process. When yours is over, you are likely to feel a sense of relief that might take the breath from your lungs. And then what?
Depending on the details of your split and/or the age of the child(ren), you may now be responsible for:
- caring for the child(ren) overnight;
- grocery shopping;
- medical issues that arise during visitation;
- preparing meals;
- providing proper bedding;
- laundry;
- entertainment;
- helping with homework;
- hosting or attending social engagements;
- attending fund raisers/school events; and
- helping your child(ren) to adjust to the new normal.
This list is hardly exhaustive. They say it takes a village to raise a child. An aircraft carrier crew might be more like it. As this blog develops, tips on how to negotiate this breakneck learning curve will be incorporated. For now, you guys are on your own. It’s nap time while I can get it!
