Billy,
I am so glad you told me your story, you wrote a good letter and i understand what you are saying. you said "you are very sad", its hard to not see your dad, I understand this happens to many children, but im thinking about you, Billy some children said they felt they did something wrong so their dad left, if you think you did something wrong this is not true! Everyone decides what they do on theire own. Adults make mistakes

Understanding a broken heart. Its sad but families often suffer trauma, natural desaster, car accidents, family violence, terminall illeness, all truamatizing in different ways. Tramatic event in the first few years can have long-lasting effects.. It is often difficult to make sense of trauma. Divorce is trumatic an unfortunate reality in 40 persent of homes in America with children under the age of 18. Studies find that divorce is has a negitve impact on all ages, but more so with ages infant to 12, children grieve even when they dont understand.
The bottomline! If you have a marriage that is struggling. If you are having difficulty with relationships seek counsel, your children can grow and thrive as you and you other parent find healthier ways to live. Children do best when both parents are in the home and stay connected to them. Children may need some help sorting out whats going on if you are not equipped to do so, find help, maybe a counselor or book that deals your needs and specifically with your childs needs.
Trauma is an exsperience of something stressful that has an effect on you, and can change how your feel about things in a negitive way. It is very painful. Sometimes we for gets to call it a broken heart. How can we handle the fallout divorce of a parent leaving a family, a mom, a son or daughter? Its best tfor everyone if parents live close and are able to parent together. If the seperation is long distance it makes connection difficult.How do we sooth a childs soul?
PARENT POINTS
Working through the truma of divorce, how to slowly mend a broken heart, Most parents say the most difficult truma in a life is losthe death of a child, it is death to what was going to be, a death to the your hopes and dreams, and especially difficult if you go to court. Divorce is a death, with the dashing of a vision your future and your childrens. They feel the same way, they are greiving loss too.
Because it is a life crisis it is important to slow down and take each day at a time, being intentional as you and your family process your new standing. Kids may ask who dwill ilive with? i want to live with dady, when will i see dayy? no one asked me! anger and hurt a soon to come but there are wys to help, hee are a few.

Have you ever wondered how God changes people? Maybe it seems like old habits never change no matter how hard you try. Maybe you have become discouraged in your lack of growth into Christ likeness. You know you are forgiven because of the cross, and you realize you are totally accepted by God on that basis. This is wonderful. And yet your desire to live more like God some how constantly falls short. God desires to transform our souls, this transformation occurs as we recognise that God created us to live in an interactive relationship with Him.. Our task is not to transform ourselves but to stay connected with God in as much of life as possible, as we pay attention to His Spirit in our lives we naturally and slowly become more like Him, which takes a life time. Our job is to do the connecting and God does the perfecting.

Every healthy parent wants their child to experience love and suceed in life. The single most important thing you can do for your child is to give them a firm foundation for life. God loves you and your child specifically by name, God wants your child to know Him, to be loved by Him, and learn to love others. To know God relationally as a friend, to know He will always be there to help them through the ups and downs of life. Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.
