People get divorced all the time and kids turn out alright. There are also kids from completely normal families that end up struggling through life. shite happens
Why do people always post things like this when someone posts overall statistics? I find the statistics to be interesting. Of course there will be plenty of people on both sides that end up better/worse than others. However, OVERALL they are at a disadvantage, just like kids without a father in their life.

I can’t think of a single divorce that did not involve at least one of the two adults being a selfish/immature/short sighted person.
Many times it is both adults who are unable to put another individuals needs before their own.
You don’t need a study to prove a logical conclusion that being raised by at least one selfish and impulsive parent will increase negative outcomes.

If you’re selfish/dumb enough to constantly be arguing in front of your kids then you should try growing the frick up. If you are both incapable of acting like adults then you shouldn’t have had kids in the first place.

It's why I I think no fault divorce should be strictly limited if not outright banned when young kids are involved.
If's it a couple with no kids or their kids are out of the house and already fully grown, then by all means negotiate the shite out of it and do whatever you want.
Marriage is a very sacred and serious thing that you should take great care with. It's no longer just simply a business contract when young and still developing kids are in the picture.

I am curious how the overall stat changes if the respondents are broken down by race.

Unfortunately, parents who fight like dogs while married often continue those fights after that split.

I agree that divorce is terrible and that the breakdown of the nuclear family is largely the root cause of what ails our society, but this study leaves out so many factors like number of children, parental education levels, addiction, legal issues, etc.
My parents went through an awful divorce when I was 6 but we had a great familial support system, and my brother and I have 4 degrees between us and lead normal, stable lives that involve both parents. That’s not to say that children of divorce net out fine regularly, but that there are mitigating environmental factors that can determine the long term stability of the child(ren).
I see this all the time and it aggravates the hell out of me. People need to learn to internialize marital strife, keep it in house, and resolve it behind closed doors. Don’t post your marital issues on social media (this is rank insanity), and don’t go running to mom or dad the minute you and your spouse have a fight.

Couldn't imagine being a young man married today. People make poor decisions daily on social media and air out personal business. Also married couples texting all day long seems extremely unhealthy.

Exactly. We all know there are kids who are just fine. But I can tell you the kids from happily divorced families are not as well off as kids from happily married families. My parents were divorced and it wasn’t bad but it set us back financially, it is a waste of time having to do things twice...all kinds of negatives even though overall we are ok. Like others have said it was the right thing for my parents to get divorced but it didn’t mean we are as well off as other kids. Divorce is expensive and it is a huge waste of time.

You divorce justifiers in this thread crack me up. Just because you were raised by a single mom and now your psychiatrist says that you're "normal" doesn't mean that the rest of us raised by normal parents aren't laughing at your effeminate mannerisms behind your back

Yeah
the "time out" kids are all either sociopaths or live "alternative lifestyles". My parents made sure I knew when I did something bad because the wooden spoon or the boat paddle came out and that's why I'm so healthily adjusted

Hey, my parents divorced when I was young and I *insert anecdotal story about how I'm not a frickup that does nothing to take away from larger statistics*. So suck it!
Divorce is trashy in 99.9% of cases.

My parents divorced my senior year in HS. I still hate my dad. Now that all my siblings are married and both of my grandparents have died, I don't know if I plan to ever see him, again.

Boomers allowing their wives to work instead of raising their kids and drive-thru divorces are the reasons millinials want to chop their dicks off.

Yeah, let's just end it in spousal abuse or murder.
My parent's divorced when I was 12. I grew up perfectly fine. Although, based on this study, I guess I can expect to fall of the wagon in about 20 years or so.
At least I know what I can blame it on now. I mean hell, why at 50 years old should I take responsibility for my shitty decisions in life when I can blame it on my parents' decisions 30+ years before?
