The effects of divorce continue into adulthood where they often attain “lower socioeconomic attainment”, as well as experience “lower psychological well-being, poorer marital quality, and an elevated risk of seeing their own marriage end in divorce.”
This does not mean that a parent should stay in an abusive relationship just so their children do not suffer the effects of divorce. Children whose parents do not have a stable marriage are better off in a single parent family.
It does mean that parents need to truly evaluate their reasons for divorce and see if differences can be worked through. Because research supports that children truly do benefit from growing up in a household with two continuously married parents.
