Re: Effects of a broken relationship on children.
Personally, I wouldn’t use that as an example of why one should stay married at all costs. Children will always have something to say about something. If it isn’t having divorced parents, it will be something else. When I’ve picked up my niece and nephew from school, I’ve observed the following:
– There is a little girl in the same class as my niece, whose parents are recent immigrants, and her mum would sometimes pick her up wearing salwar kameez. The other children tease her that her parents are “freshies/fobs.”
– Another little boy in her class is biracial. He sometimes gets picked on because his parents are “different” (his mum is caribbean black and his father is white).
One could have both parents and the perfect life and people will still find something to pick on. Part of life is learning how to deal with sh*tty comments from people.
