AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Psychologists say the potential of an emotional trauma like divorce affects kids of every age, but it is more impactful when the child is between 3 to 15 years old.

Detailed explanation-2: -Children who live in homes with a lot of arguing, hostility and discontentment may be at a higher risk for developing mental health issues and behavior problems. Consequently, following a parental separation, it’s normal for kids to struggle with their feelings and their behavior immediately afterwards.

Detailed explanation-3: -Feelings of loss, anger, confusion, anxiety, and many others, all may come from this transition. Divorce can leave children feeling overwhelmed and emotionally sensitive. Children need an outlet for their emotions – someone to talk to, someone who will listen, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -Women also tend to experience that stress longer than men because after the divorce they tend to take more time before remarrying as well as suffer harder financial hits. Effects other than heart attacks are pretty much the same as men.
