Watch SPLIT and SPLIT UP after the kids’ have gone to bed, during the school day, or when they are with the other parent.

...and get the support you need.

Talk to another adult about your feelings. Don’t turn to your kids for support. Remember: the goal is to support your children, not ask them to support you.

Write, exercise, walk the dog, talk with a trusted friend, see a therapist, or find a support group. Taking care of yourself makes you a stronger parent and models a healthy lifestyle for your children.
