This parent declares determination in seeing his son. Even though events are observed on the side lines. Father attends all school games. Even though there is no verbal contact between parent and child. This father refuses to give up.
#537, Never Give Up
When one parent states they want a divorce a common question from the other parent is ‘what about the children’. Thinking about how divorce will impact your child is a valid concern. Divorce brings about many changes for everyone-especially for your child. Their world is changing at an emotional, physical and possibly financially level. This is especially true when one parent moves out, relocates and/or resides with a new spouse.
#536, Reality of Divorce
An emotionally captivating expression of divorce. This child seems stuck in the middle in what was once his home. Two individuals/parents(?)are unraveling the home life of this child. This boy appears terribly distraught; crouched and hiding his face. Do these parents have any idea what they are doing to their child? A a most bewildering depiction of divorce.

This is a simple yet graphic example of what divorce may feel like for a child. Being pulled by both parents. The artist creates a sense of hurriedness and urgency. Father seems to be taking large deliberate strives while the dress of mom is billowing in the wind of the speed. Where is each parent going? Regardless of the plans, each seems intent on taking the child with them. Neither parent seems interested in communicating with their child. Will their son have the opportunity to share his thoughts?
#508, Split in Two
Standing under blue skies and white clouds a child surrounded by sporting event balls appears smiling. The words state “I’m happy on the outside to everyone I know.” This child seems to be presenting as a happy person to everyone and sad on the inside. Divorce and custody may be distressing to some children. Offering emotional support is important.
#533, Happy on the Outside
This is a most unfortunate reality for some parents in a high conflict divorce. A drop zone created by the city to accommodate parents who will not be nice during the exchange. Security cameras are watching the area for any outbursts or abnormal behavior. Notably, there are many parents even missing out on this!
How long is the 2 minute exchange? http://www.sharedparentinginfo.com/two-minute-exchange.html
“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” may be a rhyme; however, the reality is words do hurt. In fact, emotional and verbal abuse by a parent has long-term implications of which the victim may never fully recover. Physical scars may heal. Emotional scars created by harsh words may never fully go away.

This is shameful! One parent offers to cease child support payments for full custody of their child. This speaks to the need for family court reform with child support. “Child support is intended to support the child-not break the parent emotionally and financially.” Ruth A. S. Nichols

A young child creates a visual for expressing his thoughts. Child states: “I feel mad because my parents are divorced.” The artwork shows a sad faced green monster face. Hopefully, someone is reaching out to this child who is seemingly expressing emotional distress. Perhaps the parents will see the art and help him.
#533, I Feel Mad…
A startling portrayal of divorce for this young one. A small part of the child is visible. Does this mean the child feels overlooked? The wide eyes indicate this child knows what is happening. Both parents seem enthralled in this fight. The prominent red tongues support the caption ‘violent, noisy battle’. How long will this go on before someone notices their little one is watching them?
