Introduction

Welcome to my blog.

I am Gail Groboski, a licensed clinical social worker currently residing in the state of Maryland.  I am in private practice with a local group and work primarily with tweens and teens.  Over the course of my tenure, I often encounter children experiencing stress revolving around changes in their family structure - whether through separation, divorce, or re-marriage of their parents.  Utilizing this platform will enable me to share my clinical observations and derived expertise.

I often encounter families whom have typical and pleasant visitation experiences that suddenly change or completely end when the child or children reach the age of twelve.  I hope to utilize this blog to provide examples as well as an explanation for why this may occur.  Through the use of real-life stories, I will also provide suggestions for the re-unification process with the parent whom has become "dis-enchanted" in the eyes of their child.

I welcome any questions or comments.  Please post below and I will answer them as soon as possible. Thank you!
