Divorce

Divorce can be a hard thing for families to go through, not just the immediate family members but the extended family members and friends as well.  There can be a bug impact on the children of the divorcee parents.  There are short term effects and long term effects.
In the short term, children are likely to suffer a variety of physical and emotional problems when their parents divorce.  There can be anger and self blame, fears of the future, and loyalty conflicts later on down the road.

Long term wise there can be lower marital satisfaction for the children when they are married, they receive lower education, and weaker ties between parents and grandparents.  A negative relationship stretched across more than three generations.

There are a few things that parents can do to make the whole divorce process a little bit more bearable for the children.
First, the parents should be supportive.  Second, they should practice warm parenting skills.  Third they should try to stay positive and keep all conversations between the couple between the couple and not the child.

Divorces can be ugly, but if there is always a choice and a divorce can be as clean as one can possibly make it.
