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.
