Abstract:

Divorce is a societal event being lived frequently in modern societies. The ending of the marriage institution by married partners having children impacts the children to a great extent. The research studeis show that the children prefer living in a problematic family atmosphere to divorcing of their parents. If the divorce of the married partners is inevitable, in this case, the partners should behave logically and consciously against their children in order not to damage them seriously. They should explain the situation to their children in a simple language before the divorce and help them get accustomed to this serious event gradually. A lot of children feel that they are responsible for their parents’ divorce. Besides, they frequently have negative feelings such as fear, sorrow, refusing, decreasing level in school success, desire for having their parents make peace between them, loneliness, sleeping problems etc. To cope with these problems and feelings, they need help from their both parents. There are rules for divorced partners to solve the problems which may be lived by the children after divorce. Even the parents obey these rules, it is possible that the children will be influenced in any case. Sometimes, the divorced parents behave unconsciously and inattentively and the childern do not get affected seriously. There are two reasons for this: one of them is that every child does not get influenced by every event at the same rate and the other is that even the influences of the event are equal, the reactions and the response time may be different
