Child of separated or divorced parents.

Well of course its ideally better if a child grows up with two stable parents but I don't believe that a child is worse off if a child has only one parent as long that one parent is strong and sable enough to raise the child and the child is loved they can still grow into healthy productive members of society. There are many single parent's out there who are doing great jobs raising there kids now I cant lie and say that life is perfect for children with only one parent because its not, in fact some children can grow up feeling that apart of them are missing because of the absence of one parent, and they grow up wounder about the other part of there heritage if the other parent is not apart of there lives, but I think if the one parent has good strong values and makes sure that the child feels loved, and stable they can grow up just fine. Besides in some cases its better for the child not to grow up around unhappy or fighting parents I think sometimes its better to have one stable parent then two fighting parents who are unhappy and depressed.

Just because the parents are separated does not mean that the children lose one parent. In this country, at least, it is very common to share custody, and have both parents stay in the children's lives.

Yes and no. Yes they miss the other parent but no , they are not as unfortunate than the child who only has one parent. With divorced parents , they may nit be together but they are alive, There is a chance to see both. and if they can be adult about it , the child may wind up with two sets of parents. Their birth parents and two stepparents. But for this to work , the child's birth parents have to put them first. Not use the kids ae pawns in a huge game of war with one another.

Hi DoctorDidi, Yes I agree with you, divorce is very hard on children, but probably not as bad as living with parents who are fighting all the time. While I firmly believe that many couples could do better, it's also a fact that people change. Having children is not a game, but something to be taken seriously and people should realize that from the beginning. Children must come first in our lives and parents must act as adults, putting aside some of their own little differences for the sake of the family as a whole. Blessings.

Those children born with broken family really unfortunate in one place. They don't have free will of mind to understand what this real world the live about. They don't have mother and father which they must called or tell when they have a problem. They always bother in their minds and many things that will called them unfortunate

children who are product of a broken family is a like a two-edged sword. its either they'll be wiser and better people,better parents when they grow up as they learned from their parent's past mistakes. or be as worse as their parent,having a set of mind that divorce is ok and having a broken family is totally fine.

Not exactly. I have seen so many of them just not getting both parents love inspite of being together. The kid may get love of father and mother at one stretch. It depends upon the single parent who brings the children up.

I think divorce is the failure of two individuals. Children are the actual victims and so they suffer, unfortunately.

Children always became the victim of marriage failure. When the parents broke up, the children have to bear the pain and carry the scar and in their whole life. In these kind of cases, both parent should be blame.

A child can never be complete if she only enjoy one side of the love of the parents. But I think if one parent can double time and can make up for the lack of the other,I think the child can still enjoy the best of this world. It just a matter of correct parenting, whether singlehandedly or whole, if the child would grow up being loved and cared of, being pampered with trust and respect, being taught of right values and traits,then he can be whole and complete!

just because parents are seperated or divorced doesnt the kids are diprived from love.

I truly believe children born are innocent of their parents' misunderstandings and they should not bear the brunt of these. If couples cannot live together anymore, the least each can do is that if they can't hold their children in their arms,please hold them in your heart.

Its a horrible life of living separately with only one of their parents when they both are alive.. I cant imagine such a life like this..

I think kids of separated parents are victims since they are helpless. The parents are planting seeds of anger, as these kids grow, they would be distracted. The family is the basic fundamental building blocks of one's character.

That is true but separated parents should be matuew enough themselves t want to spend time with their children. There are some though who maybe is glad to be freed of responsibilities like my dad who never contacted us after he chose to leaves us foe another woman... I guess it never crossed his mond to isit is and spen time with us...

I think it depends on the circumstance. I think it is unfortunate and shouldn't be this way and parents need to be more in control of the situation before a baby is brought into the world. But I think sometimes a child might get for hands on attention from either parent and gain alot of insight and care by that.

Under ordinary circumstances, it is best for children to grow up with both parents around. The role of a mum cna never be replaced by the father, and vise versa. The child who is deprived of one's affection will have the tendency of growing up insecure. If he/she is deprived of a motherly love, he has the tendency of growing up as a womanizer or emotionally insecure.Only few isolated cases about children growing up without both parents to guide them , has become successful in life. More often than not, children as products of broken family are often a problem to the society...

It would have to be difficult to be the children of a broken home. fortunately, I never had to face that and i consider myself lucky for that. i'm sure that children of divorce or separation are loved just as much by their parents as children from an unbroken home.

Anyway, those children caught in the middle of crossfire sometimes, and they are innocent from it. What they can learn from their unfortunate marriage of their parents is to learn to love other people, and not to hate their parents. It is a choice. I think as a parent, they should let their children know the situation, and give them more love.
