Effects Of Divorce On Children

According to Marquart (2006), “after a divorce the job of making sense of the two worlds and the conflicts that arise between them doesn’t go away—it gets handed from the adults to the children(p. 215). When living with one parent a child may develop a sense of confusion when it comes to the family hierarchy because of the loss of one or more of the leader figures in the household (Kumar, 2011). Loss of one of the family incomes and

The main characters whose lies devastate the characters in the novel, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, are Dimmesdale, Chillingworth, and Hester. Each character has once told a lie either about their character or identity. First, Dimmesdale is well-known in the community as a minister who gives sermons. But the townspeople do not know about the affair between him and Hester. He lies because he does not want to give up his reputation as a minister. The effect of him lying is that he has a guilty conscience, thinks that he “sold himself to the devil”, and ironically, people view him as a saint. (Hawthorne 193). Next, Chillingworth is an old man who is well-known in the community as the town doctor who makes medicine and takes

In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, for me it talks about how a person is being blind to know the truth because of the people who are higher than them. It says that the allegory is a cave of men chained with their heads forced to remained forward facing toward a wall; I can say that it talks about us, the people who become prisoners to know the truth. And the shadow that forms through the help of fire and wall are the false information or truth that we get from other people. In today’s generation, I think it’s still happening because we are still fed by lies and being forced to live a life accepting this false reality as truth.

50% of all the children born to married parents today, will experience the divorce of their parents’ before they are eighteen years old. Divorce in and of itself doesn’t necessarily harm a child, but the conflict between parents does. A child’s behavior correlates directly with the effects of their parents’ separation. Deep emotional wounds are created before, during, and after divorce and separation. It is rare that you find a child that actually wants their parents to separate, unless the marriage was full of intense conflict and anger. Parents going through a divorce don’t always think about how their child is going to be impacted by it. Children suffer when their parents go through a separation.

Believe it or not there is more to divorce than one would begin to think. Usually, a person doesn’t think about divorce too much unless it happens to them or they know of someone who has gotten a divorce. I happen to know someone who got divorced not too long ago, my sister. My sister and her ex-husband were together for almost 10 years and it was hard on her when she went through the divorce with him. This made me curious on how it effected her so much with such things like: her being financially challenged, depressed, or having trust issues; that I decided to do this topic on how divorce effects children.

Divorce affects all the chil­dren in the family at some time whether it affects them a lot or a little. Some effects of divorce form right after the sepa­ration and some effects form over the first few years following the divorce and then go back down. There are many factors that lead to negative effects on children. For example, children tend to feel like they have more responsibilities and feel less cared for. Another factor is that the non-custodial parent, which is usually the father, tends to drift from his children over the years following a divorce, both physically and emotionally. A loving and caring father-child relationship is very important for children and for the way they act in the future. Without a close and caring relationship with their father, chil­dren may experience emotional issues and can even cause confu­sion.

There is some evidence that children tend to show more problems if they are in the custody of a parent of the oppo­site gender than a parent of the same gender. It is also proven that the greater the problems between the parents after divorce, the greater the number of problems the children will

Divorce is like cancer, spreading through the family and the effects of neglect, abandonment, shame and despair can spread into the wider community. The family dynamic once the intention to divorce is made known to children and parental interactions impact their children’s future. Teenagers and children often feel they are somehow responsible wondering, "What did I do wrong?", “do Mom and Dad still care about me?”, and “how are we going to take care of the bills?” These and many other questions shape the adjustment process and indicate the importance of parents making sure to be present, aware and available through these traumatic times.
