 Calm Waters Announces Free Divorce Support Groups for the entire family. 

Divorce changes a family in many ways. It can be a confusing and painful process for parents and even more so for children. More than half of Oklahoma’s children will… experience the divorce of their parents. When parents divorce, children often get caught-up in a quagmire of emotions. Shock, disbelief, fear, sadness, isol…ati……on and anger are all common feelings, but children may not understan…d or know how to handle them.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~
