This weeks topic and articles really made me remember so many of the children I used to work with whose parents were separated or divorced. Two children in particular, they were brother and sister, had a very hard time in the midst of their parents divorce, while I was working for the childcare center they would stay at. Their parents would have screaming fights outside of the daycare, and their children would be crying and distraught. The brother was older and would sometimes cry and tell me that he didn't think he was ever going to see his mom again. I don't see how this can be easy on a child, or anybody for that matter. I know a girl, she's 22 now, who didn't graduate from high school because she was so distraught that her parents were divorcing. She ended up having to get her GED and was not able to walk with the rest of the graduating class.

  1. Yes, kids have huge impact of divorce on their lives, which stays in their minds for the rest of their lives. It is really sad that parents don’t realize this fact soon enough. Divorce rates are going high day by day worldwide, which is a really bad news and it will impact countless kids.
