“And
whether we notice it or not... marriage is way more like "Joe and Wilma,
Inc." than "happily ever after." When we say "I do" we
then enter into an economic partnership. We buy cars, houses, books, big-screen
TVs. We make babies. We make plans. We make assumptions. We get disappointed…Like
shareholders, we have invested in the partnership. We invest time, we invest
money and we invest emotions. We invest all of these in hopes, and we invest
all these things in dreams, and we invest all of these in security. Rare is the
man or woman who can walk away from these investments... so de-investing is
painful.” Divorce and ChildrenA specialist in human development and
family studies from the University of Missouri discussed the impact of divorce
on children, mentioning that how they react strongly and differently to their
divorcing parents depends on their age. š Infants:
higher degree of irritability, more crying and fussing, changes in
sleeping and eating habits.
