No one argues with the fact that divorce of parents is almost always a terrible blow for children.
But, according to child psychologists, it is much worse for a child’s psyche to live in a family in which one or two adults are constantly exhausted and unhappy, where there are constant quarrels and scandals, and accusations are constantly being thrown at each other.
Moreover, if parents stay in a marriage solely because they have children, it is as if they are sacrificing themselves.
As a result, they begin to demand significantly more from their heirs (this may even happen unconsciously).
The shortcomings of younger family members become unbearable for them, as a result, misunderstandings arise between generations, and due to excessive demands, the child may begin to consider himself a loser.
The last thing to remember if you are considering divorce is that children create their own image and behavior patterns based on what they observe in the family.
Remember: it is not the fact of divorce itself that the child absorbs, but the behavior and attitude.
Even divorced parents can be an example if they still respect each other. And you can be legally married and still be strangers to each other.
The most negative impact on a child is caused by conflicts between parents that may occur during and after a divorce, rather than the divorce itself.
If you approach the breakup correctly, children will be able to cope with stress with minimal consequences, grow up mentally healthy and create strong and happy families in the future.
