The article, "What You Should Remember If You Love Someone With Divorced Parents” by Peggy Nolan discusses 10 findings from a 25-year study by researcher and psychologist, Judith Wallerstein. The study concluded that the highest impact of divorce on children is felt 15-25 years after their parents' divorce; when the adult children enter into their own serious relationships. When I first saw the article's title, I was taken aback, concerned that it would promote the thought that divorce dooms children to lives of future bad relationships. However, I was surprised to find that, despite my parents amicable divorce, and my own happy, 22-year marriage, I identified with many of the feelings attributed to adult children of divorce. Every child is affected by divorce. The degree to which a child experiences the negative effects into adulthood depends on both parents' commitment to consciously and cooperatively parent.
