Divorce

Hi Friends

Are you familiar with the word divorce and its effects on children?

The feeling of getting divorced is so intense because it brings the reality of getting lonely at a old age. It's like sitting in a car that your sure is about to get wrecked. At first, it's a mutual feeling between the couple until things get orse that the children and other people start to realise. What happens usually is that no one wants this to happen to them or their family but there are reasons that will force families to get separate. This will affect both the children and the parents. One the most common cause of divorce is money problem because no matter how much money you have, there will always be a money problem and if this intensified then it can lead to divorce. For example in economies where standards of living are high, when one of the spiuces gets a serious financial problem like job loss, health issue, etcetera, then it could squeeze a lot on the family finances which is not good.

The other cause is lack of intimacy. More often, as we grow into relationships, they tend to be more of just physical connections but need of of more about a transition to a deeper and more spiritual kind of love that sex alone will not solve. Simple things that show more affection such as daily pecks and kisses, hugs, holding hands, backrubs, and foot rubs, or even phone calls to say “I love you” from time to time are more vital to keep the relationship flourishing. 

Children on the other hand, always feel that there parents are their heroes because of the amount of daily love they show to them. Children will always appreciate the small things that parents do for them such as checking on them to know if they are fine, giving them child talk, and many others. They would not want to see there parents in arguments and in separation because this would defy all the things they believed about them. 

With that said, Who between parents and children is affected more?
