Divorce may have an adverse emotional impact on children, especially in the first year after parents’ separation. Morin reports that young people often worry that divorce is their fault, have a lack of understanding of why they should live between two homes, or become angry at their parents. Moreover, children’s relationships with adults may become worse; many of them feel less close to their fathers. Therefore, young people may feel stressed out and have poorer discipline.
