Divorce affecting our children
Divorce is a big problem in developing children's life. Over half of marriages are doomed to failure after just a few years. This statistic is upsetting because not only is marriage sacred, but we are putting our children through tough times during this period. Children that go through divorces have to deal with family drama, depression, and it really is a confusing time for the children. Most kids end up getting a new step family, which may cause even more stress on the child because it is an uncomfortable experience. Divorce is a problem that adults put on themselves, but it negatively affects their relationships around them especially their children. I feel as if more parents should take responsibility for their children during a divorce being there for their child no matter what, to help them cope with this painful time. I believe if this is done that more children will be have a positive attitude, handling the pressure and stress from a parents divorce and not letting it affect them ngatively.

My parents have just recently started the divorce process and getting to see the how it affects my brothers has been interesting, but sad still. He has had an increase in his aggression and he gets mad over simple things. I do think people need to slow down and really know if they can be with eachother before they have a child.
ReplyDeleteDivorce definitely has some bad effects on the children that are old enough to see the divorce process go through. I was one of the lucky ones that had my parents get a divorce when I was too young to remember them together or even know what marriage was. I just thought that is how parents were supposed to be. But yes parents need to learn that even if they are having a kid it doesn't mean they need to get married it may just result in a divorce and causing more problems then having the parents separated.
