effects of divorce on children

I now pronounce you  husband and wife...........

happily married, everything going well then suddenly sitting at a corner of a restaurant on valentines day the lady whispers to her husband "I'm done, I want a divorce".  OK now sop there, yes right there.

when people get married they marry for love and they decide they want to start a family and during this time everything seems smooth and easy. But when does one decide its over? at that moment whose is thinking about the children, the family they both wanted so much. of course no one because they both caught up in their own feelings and hatred they have for each other. on the other hand the kids are left feeling guilty and unwanted. the kids are always the ones who suffer the most in a divorce or a break.

Divorces have long term effects on children like emotional pain and suffering. mostly children feel that it's their fault that the parents are divorcing. They feel that they will not be like other kids with normal families. insecurities also have an impact because the family will be split and the children will have to go to different schools and start new friends and they worry about their parents bot being together ot meeting their parent's new partners.

Anger and depression is also another effect. They become angry at the world, with their parents and with themselves this results in children being depressed. because so much is going on and they do not quit understand why and some end up bottling things inside and all the problems keep building up

There is a high rate of divorces in many marriages and more than anyone else the kids get to suffer the most.
