After getting divorced, many people fall in love again and decide to commit to a new relationship. The situation is complicated when one or both partners have children from the previous relationship.
Being clear that we are facing a different family model from the traditional one and that therefore it will require some changes and tasks from us will be essential for the well-being and happiness of this new family.
1. We come from a duel
When we are as a couple we build a space together, we discover aspects of our own identity and we create a common life project. We grow with each other and although we have our individuality, we feel and think as a couple. Much of our image and who we are is in relation to the union we form.
When the relationship breaks down we have to redefine all these aspects. How then can I separate who I am if much of what defines me is linked to a common history? That's why the grieving process for separation is so complicated.
There are many people who, even if they divorce, remain hooked on their ex-partner. They have not been able to overcome this loss and are in what we call frozen grief. They are invaded by anger, pain and a feeling of injustice that makes it impossible to advance in the elaboration of this process. This situation is disastrous for starting a new family project, since even though we are physically separated and want to leave the relationship behind, we maintain such a strong emotional bond with each other that it is continually present in our daily lives.
In order to close this relationship, it is important to have constructed an explanation that gives meaning to this loss. The work of grieving is painful and awakens a lot of sadness and emotions in us that can lead us to other past stages of suffering, but we should not translate it into aggression or anger towards the ex-partner.
Each life crisis may involve pain, uncertainty and fear, but it is also an opportunity to find ourselves, start new projects and emerge stronger from this experience.
2. Ex-partner but not ex-father or ex-mother
It is important that we differentiate between parental roles and couple roles when we have children together. Even though we have separated, we are still fathers and mothers. Children and adolescents need to maintain contact with both parents for healthy development, since they are creating their own identity; and parents, especially when they are younger, are their references.
Some keep their children away from their other parent with the idea that in this absence they will get along better with their new partner, but the only thing this can produce is an idealization of the figure of the father/mother who is not present. That is why we must make an effort and put aside the rivalries that have to do with the previous relationship to focus on our obligation as parents to accompany and support our children.
One way to make them feel protected is by setting limits. They are a form of care and show of love on the part of parents. Although they may react with anger and violence, they feel calm because they know that there is someone else who will stop their impulses. Many times, in this type of family, limits are avoided because parents feel guilty or want to avoid arguments, producing greater disorder and lack of control in the home. For this reason, we must be flexible, but also clear and consistent in the rules and guidelines that we set for them.
It is also important to take into account that the rules established are consistent in both homes. It is difficult for them to coincide exactly, since more people come into play (partners of each other, children of both relationships, grandparents, uncles, etc.) and it can even be enriching for children if there is a certain disparity, but when the differences are excessive they stop providing security and containment. They will have to please everyone, trying to adapt to confusing environments, forgetting about their own desires and themselves.
3. Put yourself in your children's shoes
Many times children and adolescents express their emotions (anger, disappointment, sadness) through behavioral manifestations: we see them more aggressive, from school they tell us that they do not pay attention or their grades get worse, they appear absent, rebellious, even violent. Therefore, it is very important that as parents we do not stop at these types of manifestations and help them express what they feel with words and not actions. They are going through a difficult time and we must give them time to accept the new situation.
The stars are the print that cannot be missing in any Christmas look. Also, if we combine it with a skirt with shiny details, the result will be great.
