Children Scarred by Divorce
Divorce can devastate some children as they wrestle with its immediate and future deep-seated scars.
According to psychologist Patrick Fagan of Family Research Council Washington DC, the short and long term potential impact for practically every sector of society could be very challenging. In his report to the World Congress of Families Nov. 1999, Fagan said:
“In religious life, divorce diminishes the frequency of worship of God, and recourse to Him in prayer. In education, divorce diminishes learning capacities and high school and college attainment. In the marketplace, divorce reduces household income and massively cuts the life-wealth of individuals. In government and citizenship, divorce massively increases crime rates, abuse and neglect rates, and the use of drugs. Also, divorce weakens the health of children; even their life spans will be shortened. Finally, it increases behavioral, emotional and psychiatric risks, including suicide.”
Given such a revelation, I shall take a look today at three major areas in which the agonizing effects of divorce may have on the lives of some children.
