Transition to your new family life
Before the divorce, you and your children knew what to expect of daily life. The changes in lifestyle brought on by the divorce will take only a short time to implement. However, it will take a lot longer for the new way of life to feel normal. On average, it takes between one and two years for children to adapt to their new situation. Try to thoughtful and reasonably cautious when introducing new partners to the children.
Your parenting skills and focus on your children’s well being over the next few years will help them to eventually adapt and prosper. There will be progress and setbacks, but in time your family will once again have that sense of safety that comes from predictable, normal routines.
