Parents Forever: Pathways to a New Life Educator Guide

Conclusion

Your future holds many possibilities: you may reconcile with the other parent; you may continue on as a single parent; you may become involved in a serious new relationship; you may marry again. In each case, the divorce will have an influence on your new life. That is why learning all you can to improve communication skills, to build a new network of support, and to let go of the past are so important.

Your children are not only the greatest link to your past, they are the greatest link to your future. No matter what path your life takes from this point, you are a parent forever. By making your home the healthiest place you can to raise your children, you will go a long way toward securing your children's future stability and your own. The information presented here and throughout "Parents Forever" is designed to help you envision a future for yourself and your children-a future of promise and many new beginnings.
