For children of divorce, what happens after their parents split up may be just as important to their long-term well-being as the divorce itself.
A new study found that children who lived in unstable family situations after their parents divorced fared much worse as adults on a variety of measures compared to children who had stable post-divorce family situations. This is really important stuff for divorced parents! Please read it so that you don't screw up your kids! Click here for the entire article.

Great article! I've been looking around for resources on divorce. I have been separated from my husband for 4 years and have 3 children, 7,9 and 12. It has been so hard on them. Trying to parent them with their father has been a disaster. Then I found a class through the court system called Parents' Turn and it really helped me communicate with their father, so things are getting better. I just wish he would take the class too.

Nice article. The decision to divorce is a difficult one to make, particularly if children are involved.
At the end of the day a stable family situation is clearly helpful for children divorced or not.
