"Mrs. Doubtfire was a perfect example of where we're going right now. How does divorce affect children? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls, a boomer woman's guide to men and dating, and host of Ask Dr. Paul. It's all my fault. That's how children feel, when they're parents get divorced. They feel responsible. It's all about them. If they weren't alive, if they didn't exist, mom and dad would still be married. They'd be happy. It's all my fault. It's sad, but that's the child's way of thinking, whether it's boy or girl. That's how they feel. You need to get professional help, and I'm talking about a child psychologist, because that's a critical time in their lives. They feel rejection, and they feel rejections from both parents, and worse than that, they feel rejection from themselves. Look, it's a serious matter. It can be a suicidal matter. Don't let that happen. I don't even want to talk about any of the options, except one, and that is to get professional help, and I'm talking about child guidance, professional child psychologist,and do it immediately, because you don't need to have a tragedy, on top of the tragedy. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today, be your realities of tomorrow."
