Divorce has affected many households around the globe without warning, and many parents/children undeniably will not recover from the devastation. There are 1 million children who will suffer at the hands of their parents becoming divorced. The aftermath will affect the children emotionally, financially, and mentally. This devastation definitely will affect the parents but it will definitely, affect the children more. Children will continue to suffer from their parent's divorce right into their adulthood. Parents do not take into consideration the distress a divorce has on their children or maybe parents just do not care. Divorce affects children in several ways such as behavioral, and emotional dilemmas. When these children attend school their focus is not on the work at hand. When parents divorce it appears to stay with children even up to the point until he/she marries. Simply if he/she decides to go down that dark road again. It appears if parents are unhappy in the marriage their children will be unhappy during the divorce as well. Divorce continues to affect children all the way into their adulthood to the point that he/she indulges in alcohol or drugs. Children never forget, therefore; the scars in their childhood additional affect them in their adulthood as well. Children tend to have emotional trauma in their adulthood which is the worse when he/she starts their own relationship. It becomes a challenge because of their traumatic experience with their parent's divorce.
In fact, in their relationships, there seems to be a sense of making bad choices. Furthermore, maybe he/she prefers not to be involved in any relationship because he/she may feel a sense of abandonment over again. Actually, children perform poorly in school, therefore; their grades are affected because of the divorce. Parents seem to always involve their children in the divorce process by attempting to make the children decide who he/she wants to live with. When the parent does this it causes further stress for the children with trying to cope day to day. It’s unfair to the children, however; it is something that is inherited to children during a divorce and will never go well for the children in the end. Children will never get over a divorce and it will always feel akin to grief because the memories of the divorce will always revisit. Moreover, holidays are a contributing factor in why children will never recover from a divorce because there will be memories from when he/she was a happy family. A divorce may appear to be an easy way out for the parents, however; for their children, it is a downhill spiral to no return. Divorce should never be an option when children are involved because children become emotionally damaged for life.
