Divorce can have an extremely damaging affect on children. Children can become distant from their parents, friends, and other family. Divorce has been linked to increased truancy in school. It also has been shown that children from a broken home created by divorce are more likely to drop out before graduating high school. They are also less likely to attend college. If they do attend college, they have the tendency of completing fewer classes. Drug abuse is higher for children in divorced homes than for those in an intact family structure. Self confidence also tends to suffer for children who have had their parents get divorced. There is also studies that show that divorce not only has an affect on the child, but also has an impact on the life of the grand child. Divorce can have lasting affects on the entire family and can diminish the chances of a successful relationship for children who have had their parents divorce. The decision to divorce needs to be made after careful thought and work to resolve the issues in the marriage. The consequences of a quick decision divorce can be numerous and detrimental to all involved.

My parents got divorced when I was a baby and the only thing I remember was a lot of yelling. I now have two moms and dads and my dad is also worried that I will love my step-dad more than him, which will never happen because I love all four of my parents the same. I sometimes get jealous seeing other families all lovey dovey and happy that they are all together forever. When I think about it, it makes me upset that my father had to cheat on my mom many times. But I can never be mad at him for long because I love him too much. But he has changed and now has a baby son which I love very much!! I always wished that my parents could get back together, except I don't really want it to come true because I love my step-parents too much also.

Its quite simple. They're hurt because they love you both and they don't want you to split up and have 2 addresses, 2 last names, or even two mothers or fathers.
