What are the effects of broken families to children mental and social development?

In: Abused Children, Psychology, Sociology [Edit categories]

Answer:

children need to have both parents in the home to have a balanced life. both socially and mentally. but, if mom and dad can not get along and the children are being raised in a constant battleground, socially and mentlly this can be more damaging to them. this can lead to trust issues and other relationship problems. parents who abuse each other will most likely have children who will become involved in abusive relationships. children whose parents have divorced and the absent parent is still involved in their everyday life still benefit from both parents. but most importantly the child needs to undersand that their parents divorce or break up WAS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE THEIR FAULT!!!
