Sign#4 – Parents are detached from their children.
Not only do divorces tear apart a husband and wife, they can also alienate the children. From years of conflict in the marriage and after, one or both parents can grow apathetic from all the bickering and turmoil. It can impair the relationship between a parent and child and it can affect the child’s overall psychological and social functions. According to the center.americanvalues.org, children who are impacted by divorce are more likely to receive mental health counseling. Roughly 25 percent of youth from divorced families receive treatment as opposed to 10 to 12 percent in two-parent households.
