The most common question that psychologists are asked by a husband or wife who, for some reason, can no longer live in marriage, is how divorce affects children and will they be able to grow up prosperous?

As the psychologist Lyudmila Petranovskaya explained, the very fact of the parents’ divorce is in no way connected with any special problems in childhood or in later life.

“As far as I know, there have been many studies comparing the psychological well-being of children whose parents divorced and children whose parents remained married. No significant differences are visible, or there are factors that are much more significant, for example: the standard of living, the availability of education, the social adaptation of the family, the state of health, and so on,” the expert explained.

She added that the average child of healthy, educated, non-poor, socially included parents would be in a better situation than the child of migrants who struggle to make ends meet and have no supportive environment. Regardless of whether their parents remained married or divorced. Thus, the very fact of divorce is not particularly significant.

“But the process of divorce and all the conflicts that go with it can hurt children a lot. That is, the question is not so much whether to get a divorce or not, but how adults behave at the same time, – Petranovskaya explained. – By the way, studies have shown that children suffer from constant and strong conflicts between parents. Again, it doesn’t matter if the parents divorced and continued to have conflicts or saved the marriage and also continued.”
