I am writing an argumentative essay on divorce and children and would like to know your opinions on that topic in order to generate ideas.
It worked out for me as a child….got me out of an abusive situation and gave me a shot at a “normal” life.
The children will feel abandonment.
It has an extremely bad impact.Children need both their parents and they become helpless when a divorce takes place.A kid had committed suicide.
whatever affect it does have.. its by far better than staying in an abusive marriage “just for the kids”
children are better off in a single parent enviroment, then living with both parents who hate each other and are constantly fighting.
every situation and every child is different…the effects depends on how the parents deal with it and how they help the child deal with it..if mom and dad fight a lot in front of kids they could feel as if its their fault..if the childern involved in therapy for their self’s and in family therapy could give them better understanding and ccoping skills…the biggest thing is that the parents need to realize that their actions and what they say are going to reflect onto their childern.
My parents were divorced but i didnt take it all that hard…
joint custody, confusing sometimes but look on the bright side, more red packets during CHINESE NEW YEAR!! lol
btw,do think that when the children grow older, it will be harder to support the parents. when they are still together, the child will give money to both of them to shre but if theyre split, WOW, alot of money…
It wasn’t the divorce so much, it was the aftershock. My parents fought like cat and dog over us kids, and there was also a lot of animosity between my dad’s new family and my family. We all seem to have confidence/self esteem issues, abandonment issues, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the divorce and subsequent problems played a role in that.
