6 Effects Of Divorce On Children
4. Effects of denial
Without a doubt, your children are going to go through a phase of denial where the whole idea and concept of divorce will feel like a dream. But when time passes by and they realize that what they thought of as a dream is reality, they may be hit with severe depression.
5. Behavioral problems
Due to the mental trauma, pressure and unhappiness, children may suffer from behavioral problems. Over the years, our hearts have been toughened to handle heart break and relationship problems. Ladies, your children are not mentally equipped to handle such trauma. This may cause behavioral problems like deliberate seclusion from friends, anger management issues, refusal to participate in school activity and lack of interest in studies.
6. Bad habits
We don’t think that we need to spell this out to you. You and your partner are parents, guides and teachers for your children. Your efforts go a long way in teaching them what is right and what is wrong. Lack of good parenting may lead your child to picking up bad habits like smoking, drinking or even drugs at an early age.
A divorce affects a child in more than one way. Although modern medicine is now equipped with ways and means to reduce the psychological impact of a divorce on children, we feel that nothing can beat a healthy relationship between you and your partner for the healthy growth and development of your child.
