The problem with all of this negative adult interaction on social media sites during and after a divorce is that children using the internet may be inadvertently exposed to it. They may see their father flaunting a new car while they are struggling financially or see a mother going on vacations with a new boyfriend.
Internet visitation and technology a pro
There is one way in which the internet can be used positively after a divorce. It provides a way for the child to communicate with the absent parent. Before this possibility existed, dads often fell by the wayside after a divorce. Now they are able to maintain a level of closeness with a child, even when they are not physically close.
Whatever has gone wrong with the relationship, both parents still have an important role in the child’s life. Allowing a child to keep contact with the other parent via mobile phone or the internet can make a child feel much better and allow the bond to remain strong. Of course, it’s not a substitute for seeing a parent in person but it is far better than not seeing the other parent at all between visits.
