They say that the children suffer most during a divorce. Do you really know what your child is feeling?

my parents separated 5 years from now.and me and my siblings are the one who is really affected by what happened..it was difficult seeing your family not complete..it was so painful and you really need to accept what is happenning eventhough you dont want to.but what we can do?we cannot force our parents to be with each other eventhough they dont want to.

I'm sorry to hear about your parents. I didn't understand why my own parents had to separate too, I wanted them to get back together but as I grew older and started my own relationships, I realized that sometimes, people aren't really meant to be together.

I think they will have a phobia when it comes to getting married they will be afraid that maybe their marriage will come out just like their parents. or some will be rebel because they are not with their father or mother all the time to guide them.

You have a good point there. Some children from a divorce, do get afraid of getting married while some of them are really bent on making each of their relationships work.

yes all parent will know their child feelings;) and the important is about information our generation after year 2000, they born more genius and their feelings too, they know what parent doing and getting smart if we see generation before 2000. so parents have too more hard work and more understand this situation or their kids.

I have to disagree about all parents knowing how their child feels. They might have an idea but they wouldn't know exactly. That's why there are a lot of people who go to family counseling because they need a psychiatrist to figure things out.
