The problems that are associated with divorce are just too numerous to mention.
It is always stressful and confusing for all the parties involved, from both parents to the children.
The effects of divorce on children most times end up being a lot more pronounced than that of the parents.
These effects are usually physical or psychological in nature and sometimes both.
Let's look at some of them: The first most noticeable effect of divorce on children is that it always makes them somewhat poor in their academics.
Due to the depression that they may find themselves in they tend to miss class sessions.
Even when they attend those sessions they tend to be absent minded most of the time.
This explains why most kids from divorced families always have an axe to grind with their school authorities.
Another effect of divorce on children is that it tends to push them towards joining negative peer groups.
The reason for this is that most children from divorced homes always feel so bad about the whole issue that they end up isolating themselves from immediate members of the family.
That is when they start confiding in persons outside their home and 90% of the time, these persons will only end up misleading them.
Some will end up being convinced into drugs, illicit sex and general bad behavior.
In the case of the psychological effects, these children always have issues that have to do with low self esteem and depression.
This explains why most of them end up towing the path of suicide.
Therefore, after looking at these issues, you can ask yourself if you really need to go for that divorce.
If you love your kids, the question to ask yourself is "can you make your marriage work again?" If you still feel you can make it work, then the best thing you need to do is to go for counseling, look for materials like books, ebooks, audio books, videos and relevant information that can help you add spice to your marriage again.
Consciously look for ways through which you can save your marriage.
However if you feel it can never be saved again, you can go ahead and file for the divorce but make sure that you have laid out strategies on how you can prevent your children from going through the aforementioned effects of divorce on children.
