Can parents be more Responsible



DIVORCE  is a horrible word. There is no way to make the word sound better or make its effects less painful. According to the Webster’s Dictionary, divorce is "the legal dissolution of marriage or the termination of an existing relationship or union"
Its really painful for being punished when you are not guilty .
Getting married to a person who has seen her parents fighting has sever affect on her own marriage . The person is not in a situation to even think that every individual is different  .
But one party is in pain only because the other half has been formed with past experiences , which were not so good .
When children observe their parents fighting and out of control, they feel more vulnerable and on shaky ground. As a result, the world appears threatening and less safe to the child. He might become anxious, depression, develop low self-esteem or grow into a fearful adult.
Parents who fight send their children a message that intimacy can bring pain and turmoil. Although they also see their parents being loving with each other, their explosive fights often leaves them upset. As a result, child might develop trust issues and avoid developing intimate relationships to protect himself from being hurt.
Since this issue has touched me soo much , I also thought of reading few latest researches on them . Research on the inter generational transmission of divorce has demonstrated that, compared to offspring of non-divorced parents, those of divorced parents generally have more negative attitudes towards marriage as an institution and are less optimistic about the feasibility of a long-lasting, healthy marriage. It is also possible that, when entering marriage themselves, adults whose parents divorced have less personal relationship commitment to their own marriages and less confidence in their own ability to maintain a happy marriage with their spouse.
Parental divorce may also undermine offspring’s perceived ability to attain a happy, lasting marriage. Many young adults from divorced families report a general belief that couples do not have the ability to overcome marital conflicts, as well as apprehension about repeating their parents’ mistakes and a belief that their hypothetical future relationships are likely to fail.
