Survey for school....

[NoahsMommy]

Hi,

My final paper in my Child Psychology class is due this Saturday and I wanted to get some help from you all if I could. Would you mind taking the poll and then answering the questions for me? My topic is "Children of Divorce". If you feel better emailing me , that would be great too. Thanks!!!! **I promise this will be anonymous.**

1. How old were you when your parents divorced?
2. What do you feel was the biggest adjustment for you?
3. How well do you feel you dealt with the divorce?
4. What were the negative effects you experienced?
5. Any positives?
6. Looking back (or even currently) how has your parents divorce changed your life?
7. Is there anything you could go back and change about the whole experience? (anything at all)

THANK YOU for your help! Please do this only if you want to. My paper has to be 10 pages and while I could write about 500 on my parent's divorce, I don't think that's what he wants.

Doh! I forgot to do the poll!! Please tell me also....are your parent's still together, or not.

My parents divorced when I was already an adult. I don't know if that would help you or not.

My parents are celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary on Sunday! Helen isn't here, or we might privately email you her responses..........an 11 year old's view might be interesting.

My parents were married almost 40 years when my Dad died in 1957. Mother remained a widow until her death in 1995.

My parents are still together too, and just celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary in July.

I emailed you my responses to your questions. I was in my 20s when my parents divorced so I don't know how relevant my answers will be.

My father raised me and my two brothers without a mother but she was killed by a drunk driver when she was only 27 and I was 5 (the youngest of the three of us). I personally can't imagine being without a parent and knowing they were still alive but didn't want to have anything to do with me. That would be worse I think than knowing they were dead.

I realize not all divorces end up with a parent leaving and never having contact with the kids again but I think it is a majority.

My parents are still together, as are Ralph. Mine have been married 30 years and Ralph's parents have been married 35. Also, my grandparents will be celebrating their 63rd anniversarry this November!

My parents will be married 53 years this coming September. My husband and I just celebrated our 30th anniversary! Sorry, can't help.
