  • Society's cavalier attitude towards marriage and divorce is not a positive phenomenon and has perpetuated a cycle of failed marriages and a lengthy list of associated social problems detrimental to children and to adults
  • nto the divorce culture, notions of same-sex marriage, or any form of contemporary sexual liberation. We must regenerate a culture that understand the significance of marriage and in so doing give our children back their lives and their most basic human right — their mother and father bound together in a faithful marriage covenant.
  • “Divorce can be deceptive — legally it is a single event but psychologically it is a chain, sometimes a never ending chain, of events, relocations and radically shifting relationships strung through time, a process that forever changes the lives of people involved
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • “A culture of divorce soothes children with antidepressants, consoles them with storybooks on divorce and watches over their lives from family court.”
  • “It does not take a village to raise a child. It takes loving, responsible parents, two of them, together for the duration.”
  • divorce negatively impacts husbands, wives and children
  • By almost every measure, children of divorce fare worse than their peers in intact families. The children of divorce are more likely to engage in behaviors that lead to higher rates of crime, drug use, child abuse, poor educational performance, higher incidence of behavioral, emotional, physical, and psychiatric problems. Such behavior set in motion a downward cycle of dysfunctional behavior and despair that compounds those problems for their own children and future generations of children. Because of divorce, increasing numbers of children live in economic insecurity and disadvantage, including fragile and unstable family households.
  • Mounting evidence in social science journals demonstrates that the devastating physical, emotional and financial effects that divorce has on children can last well into adulthood and affect future generations
  • The devastation children feel on the heels of their parents' divorce is similar to the way they feel when a parent suddenly dies
  • Divorce changes the very nature of childhood
  • Divorce can sever the crucial bond between a child and one or both of his or her parents. And tragically, divorce has brought about a mass exodus of fathers away from close association with their children.
  • The family comprises the scaffolding upon which children mount successive developmental stages, from infancy to adolescence. It supports their psychological, physical, and emotional ascent into maturity. When that structure collapses, the child is left impoverished, both economically and emotionally
  • research has shown that a child is better off if the parents resolve their differences and the family remains together, even if the long-term relationship is less than perfect
  • Maelani Parker on 09 Sep 12
     
    This family not only shows the negative results of divorce for children, but it also emphasizes the importance of the opposite. Marriage is shown to be fundamental for children. This fall sunder the categories of divorce and home environment and exposure.

  • maternal depression to children’s mental and physical illness as well as language and cognitive deficits
  • shown that when the parents’ marriage is riven by conflict children grow up to be emotionally insecure and have difficulty forming loving adult relationships
  • nd found that when parents are under significant stress their kids are more likely to have behavior problems, to have difficulty handling stress, and to be at greater risk for mental illness
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • when parents are under emotional, financial, or other forms of stress, it can alter their children’s patterns of genetic activity at least through adolescence and perhaps longe
  • And since some of the altered genes shape brain development, the effects of parental stress might permanently wire themselves into children’s brain
  • Child abuse and even maternal depression, studies show, can do to people what neglectful rat mothers did to their pups: silence the stress-hormone receptor in the brain. In the brains of people who were abused as children and later took their own lives, the gene for the stress-hormone receptor is more likely to be “off” than it is in people who did not commit suicide or were not abused, found a 2009 study.
  • they found that mom’s high stress during the children’s infancy altered 139 genes, while dad’s stress during the children’s pre-school years altered 31 genes.
  • although mothers’ stress affected both daughters and sons equally, fathers’ stress had more effect on daughters than sons.
  • when dad is emotionally or physically absent, girls tend to enter puberty earlier and develop difficult temperaments
  • Maelani Parker on 09 Sep 12
     
    This article presents the belief that the stressful state of parents can alter their children's DNA. Emotional stress in the home can be devastating for children and have long and lasting effects. This applies to my section on divorce and possibly home environment and exposure.

      Exemplary title and subhead, using the double-entendre, literary allusions, and capturing the topic in the title while clarifying thesis/central claim in the subhead. Outstanding writing!
