The Infathomable Damage to Kids After Divorce
by Mika Maddela
Nowadays it seems that everybody knows somebody who has had a divorce. Maybe you're even considering it yourself. There are a lot of things that might make a pair consider divorce. When you consider all of the challenges the modern marriage faces, such as a stupefying rate of adultery that touches virtually one in 2 relationships, it's no surprise that so many relationships finish in divorce court.
I know nevertheless , that children are a big concern when it comes to making that call about staying or going. In fact , everybody wants to be certain that their children have the absolute best chance at living a content and successful life.
In a study released by the Institute for American Values in 2002, the following stats were found after studying lots families over an extended period.
About half of the children of divorced parents would go on to witness the divorce of their mother's or father's next marriage. Maybe you know that divorce can be stressful for children, but are you able to think how intense two divorces are on a child?
The main cause of this is that most adults who divorce do not fully understand that cause for their first marriage falling apart. This naturally, will make them much more likely to repeat the same problems that may have unconsciously ruined their marriage again and again in their future marriages.
Another shocking statistic from a Harvard University Press study by Andrew J. Cherlin in 1982 called "Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage" found is that kids who live through more than one divorce earn substantially lower scores at school and other children in their age group describe them as being unpleasant to be around.
We all know how significant good grades are to getting into a good school or getting a good job, and the refined benefits of a charming and positive character are well known by most people these days. Living in a divorce-riddled home can significantly stunt a child's odds of achieving the most she or he possibly can out of life.
But here is another surprising statistic from the Institute for American Values study. They discovered that 80% of all couples on the edge of divorce, who decided to work things out instead of divorce, were married and happy and enjoying life inside of 5 years.
As you can see, divorce might be a permanent solution for a temporary problem. When you add to this the damaging effects it can have on your kids, it really makes you questions whether or not you need to really divorce.
Now, I'm not going to say that divorce must be steered clear of at any price. Indeed, there is a place and time for it. But before doing, it is perhaps best to try and work things out and to get a firm appreciation of what's causing the <a href="http://thepathtopassion.com/">relationship problems</a> instead of just blaming your spouse for everything as you walk out the door.
