In the article “Just whom is this Divorce good for? By Marquart she explains, “We found that children of so- called “good” divorces often do worse even than children of unhappy low- conflict marriages. They say more often, that family life was stressful and they had to grow up to soon. They are themselves more likely to divorce and children of divorce feel like divided selves”. I would have to agree with that because I am actually going through my parents getting a divorce and when I found out I didn’t want to believe it at all I didn’t want to see my parents split up it just wasn’t right to me.
Remarriage with older children can go both ways, depending on the age they may see the step parent as another authoritative figure while other children may not really have an opinion. Many times it’s not the children that have the issue with the step parent; it’s the biological parent that that lives with the child. I feel that when children are involved, the biological parents as well as the stepparents should come to a decision about the welfare of the children. Every situation is different therefore I feel the government can't create a law that would be suitable. A lot of children resent their step parents and this also makes the situation all the more problematic.

Many of the statistics he gives show that a child raised outside of a stable habitat has higher chances of illegal drug usage, teenage pregnancy, and emotional and behavioral issues. Do to the lack of commitment in modern relationships, divorce has become very prevalent in America. Santorum proposes that the main reason for the high rate of divorce is directly linked to the fact that husband and wife are more focused on making sure that they are happy as individuals, rather than on a family unit. This in turn, leaves the child feeling unloved and uncared for, in-turn leading to social issue. Living
Outline and Evaluate Research into Privation (12) Bowlby’s theory of attachment led him to believe that there was a critical period for attachment formation. If a separation occurs between mother and infant within the first few years of the child’s life, the bond would be irreversibly broken, leading to severe emotional consequences for the infant in later life. He referred to this disruption of the bond with the mother as maternal deprivation. A study that supports this is Genie, Bowlby saw that separation experiences in infancy and early childhood were the cause of affectionless psychopathy and delinquency, Rutter has argued that these are more likely the results of deprivation. Hodges and Tizard used a longitudinal approach to study, the effects of early experiences and later development.

Through this study, I will analyze scientific research on the negative impact divorce has on children. With the research, hopefully it can be determined if adverse effects can mitigate with interventions and a positive relationship with both parents being maintained.
The genetic counselors play a big role in conveying both the negative and positive aspects of raising disabled child. The way the disability is presented to prospective parents could in fact persuade them to a decision they will later come to regret. Genetic counselors need to present the positive aspects of each disability when talking to parents. The counselors also need to supply the parents with as much information as possible. The parents need to realize that a disability is not a death sentence.
While parents cannot determine whether their children have sex, use contraception, or become pregnant, the quality of their relationships with their children can make a real difference (Miller, 1998).
