After Divorce. After Fostercare. Now what?

There is so much research compiling what happens to children in foster care and the effects of emotional disruption. There are safe spaces to address foster parents and foster children. This space addresses parents abuse from courts and legislative systems and where to seek help in safe spaces. And while children form attachments with their biological parents and depending on the quality of the parent-child relationship, different attachment styles develop (Bowlby, 1982). Bowlby (1977) defined attachment as “the propensity of human beings to make strong bonds to particular others and of explaining the many forms of emotional distress and personality disturbance, including anxiety, anger, depression, and emotional detachment, to which unwilling separation and loss give rise”. This platform will address these same issues and research toward parents and give an outlet addressing [gaslighting, demonization, reputation management and moving forward.]

Moment for Parents:

One of the greatest traumas imaginable is when parents must deal with the separation of a child. Mostly by divorce or the state legislature. Producing greater stress than dealing with the relationship-loss of a parent or spouse, a child’s absence is especially traumatic because it is often unexpected; it is also in violation of the "usual" order of things, in which the child is expected to "flock" away from the parent and start college: a profession, area of study or just their own household.

The new nuclear American home has moments of fear for parents. And for those that have been through it; you know. The trauma associated with losing a child, whether to violence, disease, state custody or divorce, can certainly lead to devastating physical and mental health issues. In dealing with this loss, it is increasingly important to recognize the impact it can have on health and overall quality of life. [got a promo code? Email Us.

A new research study published in a recent issue of Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy provides a systematic look at how child loss can affect older adults. We work with these parents on the ground and in the trenches.
