Impact of Divorce on Children
Family relationships have consequences that are high enough to be maintained, various trials befall family relationships from time to time.
Work problems tend to have absolute power to burn a harmonious family relationship into two halves.
Differences in the desires of husbands and wives in building family relationships have an impact on the loss of love and affection.
The collapse of a harmonious relationship opens the possibility of divorce.
Wounds in the heart are difficult to treat so love falls on the hearts of others.
As a result of divorce having an impact on children, children's mentality is not optimal in accepting decisions from their parents so that the child's character changes in the process of growth until the child becomes an adult.
Children will choose whom they go to according to their heart's desire but the rule of law eliminates their will so that sadness and frustration are ingrained in the children.
An unexpected incident happened to a child in my village.
When he was 3 years old, his father and mother divorced because of his father's infidelity.
The divorce decision was made by force by her mother, the divorce was legally processed in court.
Their young son could only watch the fight between his father and mother until they divorced.
The child follows his mother and he lives with his mother. When he grew up, his mother told him all the events that had happened to their family when he was a child so that a grudge arose in him.
He was looking for his father who lived with his new wife, when he found his father's residence there was a fight between him and his father, they fought but not to death.
This incident proves that a child will experience mental and character changes when he finds out what really happened.
A child cannot think like an adult when he sees the troubles going on in his family but warning signs lurk when the child grows up.
We cannot predict tomorrow's story but prioritize maintaining husband and wife relationships so that divorce does not occur.
Children are part of the family, don't just think about the selfishness and desires of parents because in the end children can act negatively.
Appreciate and respect the marital relationship because family union means a lot.
Thank you!
Happy Sunday.
