What about the children?

Children caught up in a parental separation process can be forgotten, not heard and their emotional needs not properly considered or addressed due to the level of conflict and pain between the parents. This quiz is a way for parents to stop and reflect on what might be happening for the children.

You know you can get on with your life, as you can have a good grizzle and then go out and enjoy yourself.
