Even though the parents are divorcing, it gives the child an outlook to a happy future because his or her parents are

These are the questions I ask people. These are also the question they struggle to answer. Divorce doesn’t make a child fragile, but more self-reliant, adaptable, and can make their relationships with family members/parents even stronger than they were before.

Sometimes divorce can be the best thing for the couple as well as the child. If a marriage is only there for the child then that could affect them just as much as a divorce (65).

With the divorce rate as high as it is, more and more children are growing up in single parent families. Ideally, it is better for children to live with their mom and dad happily married. These children who grow up in a single parent family are looked at as being different. However, the problem lies in the difference of children raised by both a mother and a father.
