In some instances, couples may try to resolve their issues/differences for the sake of their children.
However, in other instances, divorce is inevitable when the differences aren’t sorted out and further
make the matter worse. In effect, divorce is the last solution at hand. Consult a divorce attorney that
will make the process less complicated for you and your children.
The ill-effects of divorce on children can be intimidating:
Anxiety
The outcome of divorce makes the child become tense, apprehensive, and on edge. Young children
find it more difficult to cope with the divorce than the adolescents as they are vigorously reliant on
both the parents. A restless and anxious child will think that it’s hard to focus on his studies and may
lose enthusiasm for activities that he once discovered luring.
Stress
As indicated by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, numerous kids erroneously
view themselves as the purpose for their parents’ separation and accept the accountability to patch
the relationship. This can prompt tremendous pressure and weight on the young minds, which can
have repercussions like pessimistic feelings and bad dreams.
Mood swings and irritation
Young children are prone to suffer from mood swings and irritation. They may lose their temper even
when talking to familiar adults. A few kids will go into a withdrawal mode, where they quit conversing
with anybody and shut themselves away. An otherwise hyperactive child may become quiet and chose
to spend time all by himself and eventually cut-down all the communications from the outside
world.This may prove detrimental to his well-being and may be the cause of poor self-esteem in
adolescence.
Depression
Acute sadness fills the mind and heart of children after their parents separate. Nothing feels good and adequate
enough and this may lead to depression which is a cause of prolonged sadness. This may eventually develop a
negative outlook toward life.
Behavioral and social issues
A child may exhibit anti-social behavior after the parents’ divorce. He/She may lose temper easily and also choose
to assault someone. He may also develop a criminal mindset over a period of years. Studies have revealed that
these children also develop an attitude of aggression and disobedience at varying degrees.
