Tim: 我感到内疚,因为我必须限制孩子们与母亲的接触以确保他们的安全。孩子们失去了他们所认识的母亲,她现在只是一个空壳。我不知道如何帮助孩子们度过这段艰难的时期,也不知道如何在情感上支持他们。孩子们没有主动问问题,而是把头埋在沙子里。我的前妻自从我儿子出生以来,就一直面临精神健康方面的挑战。 John Delony: 家长能给孩子们的最好礼物就是让他们看到这件事对你来说有多么艰难,让他们体验到爸爸的心也为此破碎。我们从小就被教育要坚强,但结果是孩子们会感到困惑,因为他们想念他们的妈妈,或者想念婚姻,或者想念有一天父母会复合的幻想。告诉孩子们你很伤心,让他们看到表达悲伤的样子。让孩子们写一封给妈妈的信,表达他们的感受。重要的是让他们看到,作为父亲,你可以和他们一起承受这些。现在孩子们最需要的,是你表达出你内心的感受,即使你不知道该如何表达。孩子们内心堆积了很多东西,这些东西一定会以某种方式爆发出来。让他们看到,即使你是坚强的父亲,你也会有不知道该如何表达的悲伤和心碎。这不是一次性的对话,而是一个需要长期进行的对话。告诉孩子们,即使她不再是你的妻子,她仍然给了你世界上最珍贵的礼物,那就是你的孩子们。重要的是你做了这件事,而不是你做得有多好。直接面对孩子们的伤痛,就像你面对他们身体上的伤痛一样。让他们看到,男人也可以有感情,也可以表达自己的感受。
