DEBATE: CHILDREN FROM DIVORCED AND SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES ARE NOT DISADVANTAGED WITHIN SOCIETY.
CHILDREN FROM DIVORCED AND SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES ARE NOT DISADVANTAGED WITHIN SOCIETY.
Children thrive when out of an unhealthy family environment.
Children may be somewhat suppressed if in an unhealthy family situation. Although not the case with all ‘unhealthy’ family situations some can be violent and abusive furthermore this abuse could go so far as to directly involve the child. Equally if a child of either sex sees violence occurring within a household, this is what the child views as normal and as such as an ‘ok’ thing to do. Therefore situations we observe in a childhood and teen years can directly affect the adult we become the decisions we make.
Therefore, although much heart ache is felt during a divorce, or for single parent families often heart ache can be felt at never having one parent. In this situation children are more likely to succeed in life and become better people if not surrounded by the violence and depression that can arise within families. They will be able to become their own person and concentrate and their own goals in life rather as often happens than worrying about the situation of their parents.
Divorce can potentially create an even more unhealthy environment than an unhappy marriage. Parents inevitably find themselves financially disadvantaged by divorce, and the seperation can cause depression and frustration which the parents may take out on the children. At the very least, their own pain at the divorce may cause parents to pay less attention to the needs of their children than they ought to. In this situation, children can really suffer, not necessarily thrive.
