Understanding How Divorce Affects Children

Couples who only stay together for the sake of their kids can often do more harm than good. The behaviors in your home influence how your children will behave as adults.

A few weeks ago I read a friend’s Facebook post about how her state-mandated “parenting course” taught that divorce will ruin your children.

She said:

“Completed my parenting course — it’s junk. Tells you 700 times pretty much you’re ruining your kid because you’re getting divorced . . . What about leaving toxic, unhealthy relationships because it’s necessary?”
