What are the impacts of parent’s separation on their children?
When separation occurs, it’s very typical for children to be unhappy and want their parents to remain together. That unhappiness can translate into low self-esteem, behavioural problems, and a sense of loss. The parents can talk to their children about the separation, this way, they’re assuring theRead more
When separation occurs, it’s very typical for children to be unhappy and want their parents to remain together. That unhappiness can translate into low self-esteem, behavioural problems, and a sense of loss. The parents can talk to their children about the separation, this way, they’re assuring the children they’re not alone.
There is a tendency to perform to a lower standard in school, which can eventually mean that as adults they won’t have good jobs.
Children of separated families can also have greater ongoing problems with their behaviour. In general, they become easily influenced by the time they live with a single parent. There is is levity that comes with being raised by a single parent. Some children might misuse such levity.
In a situation where a child have to relocate with one of the parents, the stress level is higher. The child has to adjust to a new environment, a new school, a total new way of life. The child would have to start finding new friends. This alone can cause negative effects on the child. Life after separation is always harder than the separation itself for the children. Where both parents remain very involved with the children, and very supportive of them – especially where there’s no tension between the parents – the outcomes are often very good.

Will I ever get tired of tell this story? I guess not, every now and then, I always have to explain why I don’t drink alcohol. I was never even a heavy drinker, I just never did well with alcohol. I had to go to my parent’s house for the yearly h thanksgiving. We had all families around, it was just a full house. I had taken three glasses of white wine when it dawned on me I might be getting drunk. I was feeling woozy. I went to sit at the balcony as I didn’t want to make a scene with myself. How could three glasses of white wine get me drunk? I was still seated at the balcony when my aunt came to meet me and started talking — trying t catch up on old gists. Then I told her I was gay. I didn’t realize I was drunk until the words rolled out of my mouth. My eyes became clear immediately and I tried telling her I didn’t mean what I just told her. Of course she didn’t take that, she announced to every member of the family that was around. I was and will never be ashamed of my sexuality. I just didn’t envision myself coming out in that kind of manner. Not at all. Let alone someone else doing the coming out for me to my parents. I was drunk. But I felt cheated, I was robbed of having that moment. When people get drunk, they say what’s on their mind. They might not fell like saying it at that point, but the alcohol influences it. I stopped drinking anything alcohol from that day.
