A long time ago, I was talking to one of my friends Sami who lived with her father. She is always agitated and depressed because her father cannot take care of her all the time. She always missed her mother. He wanted to be with his mother. She wondered if her mother still loves her even though she has never seen her. I asked her, "Why did your parents divorce?" She replied: “I have no idea because they separated when I was three. My father doesn't like to talk about it. I miss her very much and I know she misses me too. I'm sure she might think of me just like I think of her all the time." His words touched my heart emotionally. I felt sad. This conversation made me think more about divorce, but I never took the time to research it. Now I had the opportunity to select a topic to research, so I chose divorce. I would like to know what situations children go through after their parents divorce. I assume that divorce might be the most difficult thing for some children, especially in childhood life. Divorces are more common than they were generations ago. In a Time/CNN poll published in August 1997, the majority of respondents (45%) responded that marriage is not taken seriously by most couples because they always end up divorcing. 64% also believe that couples should receive marriage lessons before getting married (“public opinion”). From what I understand, this divorce controversy has remained one of the most important debates in the nation. There are reasons why most couples break up. It may be due to a misunderstanding. It may be because they stop loving each other. Sometimes small arguments and misunderstandings can turn out to be the biggest problem... middle of paper... no, it's normal to feel unsure about how to give your child the right support during a divorce or separation. It may be difficult, but parents can still help their children to be strong, confident and give them love. Even after divorce, they can still have relationships with their children. Divorce introduces a massive change in children's lives. As I told a story at the beginning of the essay, do you wonder what consequences he might face? Do you know how it might feel to live a life without a mother? Unfortunately, this may make the custodial parent angry about not being able to meet the child's needs. Divorce is difficult for those kids who have to deal with these situations. Most studies have shown that divorce makes a huge difference in children's lives. I learned that when parents divorce, the foundation that the child was accustomed to is broken.
