My 8-year-old niece asked me why her friend's parents got a divorce, and I drew a blank. When she asks her mom and dad they avoid answering the question because they also don't know how to explain. How can I effectively explain how and why a divorce works to someone her age? Also, how to explain that she shouldn't think any less of her friend's family because of their unique situation?
