When Do You Recover from Your Parents' Divorce?
Question: Hey Telltale Har, When I was around 24 or 25 (I can’t remember the exact time period) I came to the realization that I had known my parents longer as divorcees than I had as a married couple. This was a very difficult thing for me to adjust to, and to be quite honest I still don’t think I’ve fully recovered from it. I am a child of divorce (or a COD) and this is my story.

How to Minimize Your Part in the Emotional Trauma to Your Children During Divorce
Just remember once upon a time there was something you saw and loved about your ex spouse, and that my friends is what is important for you to remind your kids about! You do this so that their little hearts may mend and their minds will understand that they came from something so good and meaningful it created them. Teach kindness, and build them up. Refuse to cause your child additional pain while they are experiencing grief over the breakup of their family, while their whole world falls apart and changes forever. Give them a reason to be secure in their place in your life; they come from you both.

Are You Still Trying to Pick up the Pieces?
I host a radio weekly internet radio show on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel called Life Altering Events. People often ask me, "What exactly is a life-altering event?"

Reclaiming Your Home After Your Divorce
You’ll either have to work with your ex to decide who gets what, or the two of you will have to allow the court officials to decide for you. If the court has to get involved in deciding how your property will be divided, state law governs the division. In many cases, you and your ex would each be able to keep any furniture or other property that was yours before the wedding. However, depending on the circumstances, you might have to provide receipts or other documentation proving that your property is really yours.

Things Not to Do When Getting a Divorce
DO NOT lie to the kids—if you have kids do not lie to them about what is happening to their family, why you and your spouse are choosing to get a divorce, or what is going to happen next. Kids are already going through the pain of divorce and one parent moving out of the house. Do not lie to them, even if you think it will make them feel better. It will assuredly make them feel worse. And may even make them feel that it is their fault, and that is why you are lying to them about it. And also they come to resent you for your actions.

What Is Noble?
Okay, so not sure where to start. But I guess this is a story of determination. The story of love, sadness, and the story of nobility. It all starts at the birth of a child. You see in my community, the black community, fathers aren't very prevalent, or visible I should say. I did not want to become that statistic. I only have one child, a girl, she is now seven. I had my first child and only child when I was 30. I took that long because I felt that I wanted to be able to be the best parent my child could ever have. And I'm sure many parents feel the same. I, on the other hand, was raised only by my father. A little bit by my mother, who was there for a time when I was younger. At the age of seven I was sent to my father. I stayed with my father until my mother passed when I turn 16. My oldest brother however was able to stay with mom. And of course I got visits every now and then every summer to my mother prior to her passing. I was never told that she had cancer I was just told that she died. My only comfort at the time when I receive that information was my best friend and my Nintendo. Can I say father was a comfort? Not necessarily. As a child and at that age I held it against him the reason why I was not around my mother before she passed. But I know that's not fair but I was a child then. But that's neither here nor there.
