"Rebuilding Relationships with Estranged Children After Divorce"

Divorce doesn’t just affect the couple—it can create emotional rifts within the family, including with your children. Rebuilding these relationships requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to heal past wounds.

Why Estrangement Happens

• Blame and Loyalty Conflicts: Children may feel they need to choose sides, leading to resentment or avoidance.

• Unresolved Emotions: Your child may be processing anger, sadness, or confusion about the divorce.

• Communication Breakdowns: A lack of open, honest dialogue can widen the gap.

Steps to Rebuild Connection

1. Acknowledge Their Feelings: Listen without judgment and validate their emotions, even if they’re difficult to hear.

2. Take Responsibility: Apologise for any mistakes you made during the divorce or as a parent. This shows humility and accountability.

3. Rebuild Trust Gradually: Be consistent in your actions and create opportunities for positive, low-pressure interactions.

4. Address Your Own Emotions: Heal your guilt or defensiveness so you can approach the relationship with clarity and love.
