Study Notes

Family Relationships and Divorce

  • Divorce is a complex issue with immediate and long-term effects on families.

  • Immediate consequences include:

    • A sharp drop in income, often leading to poverty, particularly in single-mother households.
    • Increased family conflict as family members cope with stress in different ways.
    • Changes in parenting styles as parents adjust to new roles, sometimes leading to overly permissive parents.

  • How a child responds to divorce depends on several factors:

    • Age: Young children may blame themselves, regress to earlier behaviour (babysitting), or cling to the custodial parent. Older children might understand the reasons for divorce better but may exhibit different behaviours.
    • Gender: Girls may withdraw from others and engage in riskier behaviour while boys might act out, sulking and engaging in crying behaviours.

  • Divorce can affect children in a multitude of ways, and understanding these consequences is critical in assisting affected children and families.

  • An additional concern is the possible consequence for any child or teen from a divorced family. They are more likely to get divorced themselves.
