This is so well articulated. I think many children would benefit from this loving explanation of a very difficult subject. Wow, C.J. Just wow.

Thank you very much. I’m so happy you like it, Francesca. I hope it helps children in these unhappy situations to understand the complex world of grownups.

I also wrote a children’s story that explains divorce and I’ll try and post it tomorrow.

Too often children learn about abuse from being abused or from seeing others in their own family who are the victims of abuse. Your example of adults helping kids to understand from their own world experience is a superb way to give kids some understanding and appreciation for the issue. Now we need to find ways to intervene before it escalates beyond words.

It breaks my heart to think about young children exposed to or experiencing abuse. This story explains it so well.
