Short Term Effects Of Divorce

Some children many view the divorce as their own fault. Adolescents tend to become more aggressive and lash out at their parents. Teenagers become distance and become rebellious against their parents. Children also suffer from social impacts such as; aggression towards others and antisocial behaviour.

Children not only suffer from short term but as well as long term effects. Short term and long term effects undoubtedly intertwine due to the coherent impacts that may last a lifetime from some children. Long term effects affect the development of children. In numerous cases depression can last all the way into later on developmental phases of life. Children of divorce are more likely to settle for someone earlier than children of none divorced

families. Children of divorces are also more likely to develop unhealthy relationships. Although most long term effects are abundantly negative, some can actually be positive such as, children of divorces become positive role models. People who come from divorced parents tend to have a better parent-child relationships with their children than those who come from none divorce families.
Children who come from families of divorce are not just negatively affected by divorce, there are positive repercussions. Once the children’s parents are separated the child actually gains more attention from both parents because there is more time to spend on them. Children will not only gain more one on one time with their parents but they will also gain more opportunities to meet new friends and built new relationships. Studies have shown that divorce can actually bring the best out in the children, especially the older siblings due to their want to protect their younger siblings from harm. Children that come from families of divorces actually receive a better understanding of life as a whole. They tend to become more resilient and easily adapt to change. Furthermore they also become increasingly self-sufficient.
