Divorce Through the Eyes of a Child

Jennifer Reynoso English 252 February 20th 2013

“The day my parents

divorced is the day my

childhood ended.”

“ I don’t want a life like either of my parents.”

“ I never want a child of mine to

experience a childhood like

I had.”

Negative effects of post-divorce life carry intoadulthood

Although divorce has negative effects on children, a couple should never stay in a marriage “for the kids”

“Seeing the parents fight almost everyday is like a ghost that will hunt a child's memory of a so called family.” (Grier 2010, p.1)

“A marriage, like a human life,is a precious, living thing. Spousesshould exercise faith in Christ and love for each other to heal and strengthen their relationship.” (Dallin H. Oaks)

Divorce does effect children... But, these negative

affects can be

overcome!
