Children & Divorce Reviews

Children and divorce are two things that just dont go together. When I was 13, my parents divorced, and it competely destroyed me. For a while, I went off the rails, and got into a lot of trouble, both in school and out of it. Looking back, I think that I could have handled the situation a lot better, and I suppose at the time, I kind of blamed ...  Read the complete review

The effect of divorce on children has long been a debated question. I know about the effects of this because I have been through it as an adult. However, I have also been through the effects that warring parents have on growing children, as a child. The most important thing for the children when a marriage ends, is that they ...  Read the complete review

I would like to put a different side across to this subject. I am married to a divourcee. I met my husband when he had a 3 year old girl and a 6 year old boy. His marriage had already ended, but it was a messy end, and unfortunately the kids were suffering. I think that in an adult world it is so important to put your own views aside and ...  Read the complete review

Children and divorce.........Well, this is something that I have no personal experience of whatsoever, so I can not harp on about this too much but I have four people close to me that have had this experience all in different ways and all have had different ways of dealing with it and i thought that some of their experiences may be of help or be ...  Read the complete review

i cant actually remember how old i was when my parents got divorced and i dont remember a time without my stepdad so it must have been when i was quite young. i remember having quite frequent visits from my real dad at first, twice a week i believe, but then as we got older we saw him less and less. once a week turned to once a month and as he ...  Read the complete review

My Mother fell pregnant with me unexpectedly at the age of 16. In that day and age, when things like this occurred the 'right' thing to do was to get married. Now im not saying that my Mother and Father didn't love each other, im sure that they did, but they were far too young to get married and settle down, they were pretty much forced into ...  Read the complete review

When my parents decided to seperate when I was only eight years old it was not the happiest time of my life as at times I wondered just whether I was not responsible in some way or other, it was particularly hard on my father as he was left to raise two children pretty much on his own as my mother was the one who left the family home to start a ...  Read the complete review

This is my account of divorce both as a child and an adult as my parents divorced and i am now seperated from my husband too. I was about 5 when my parents divorced, i dont really remember the actual split, i just remember my dad picking me up at weekends and taking me to his new home. I was very close to my dad and looked ...  Read the complete review

I thought I'd write about my experiences of my parents separating when I was a child. They still aren't divorced - but this isn't because they are going to get back together, it's because both of them are far too lazy to be bothered sorting out the paperwork. Unlike many people's experiences, I didn't see the separation coming. There ...  Read the complete review

Divorce is a tricky issue to cover, and i feel im as qualified as any for talking about it, recently having experienced my parents breaking up after 20 years. I would count my self a relavently mature person and so i find it easy to talk about it as i have not had a bad experience with my parents break up. I found that the breaking up ...  Read the complete review

hi everyone, really sorry to hear of your experiences through your life concerning divorce. fortunately my parents are still together and appear quite happy.

i am a university student currently doing a module on the family and have decided to base my coursework for my final year on divorce and how it affects childrens. obviously i am finding alot of disadvantages on divorce but i do want to focus on the advantages for children of divorce but finding difficult in finding many.
i would be really grateful if any of you could help me out with how you felt advantaged as a child when your parents were divorced.

All too often nowadays younger and older children alike are used as some sort of revenge tool by their parents going through a divorce. My brother is currently going through a divorce where the kids are being used in this way. It's so unbelievably heartbreaking to witness something happening like this to people you love, especially ...  Read the complete review

I have very mixed feelings on divorce. My parents were divorced when I was 4 and to be honest I can't remember much about it. All I know is that I stayed living with my mum and still saw my dad on the weekends untill my mum remarried. I didn't take to my stepdad all that well and neither did my real father. Consequently we stopped ...  Read the complete review

This may sound strange but as a young child i used to wish my parents would get divorced. Not because I didnt love them but because I was so sick of hearing them shouting all night, I was fed up with the terrible atmosphere and foul moods. I began to get very annoyed with my mother because she couldn't just let something go, she would keep ...  Read the complete review

I got married very young(A big mistake) at 18 and had Imren when I was 19 then there was no stopping me and I had my son at 20. The thing I regret the most is having such beautiful children from a monster like my ex husband. I have never ever seen such an irresponsible, careless, thoughtless, evil, and a useless person in my life. I mean I used to ...  Read the complete review

I really do think getting a divorce has an impact on your kids for the rest of thier lives. If they are brought up in a dysfunctional family ( and I am in no way calling divorced families dysfuntional, i'm seperated myself) then this is what they will come to think of as the norm. If they grow up seeing mum and dad fighting, ...  Read the complete review
