Well there is no definite outcomes. I guess it depends on how well the single parent have taken cared of the kid and on the kids outlook in life. I have friends who have divorced parents who turned out to be someone with "no direction", "trouble maker", and all negative. They blame it on their parents divorce. But on the other hand a close friend of mine whose parents are annulled but she turned out really well: responsible, matured, independent, and honest. She has an insight though that she wouldn't marry if she is not sure of her partner.

hi, the divorce rate has been increasing in recent years. Parents get more and more free to choose their own life style. But for the children, they will lose a complete family with their parents apart, this will lead them to feel bad about his family, what's more, this is the period for them to know about the world, with unhappy family background, the children will surely feel quite unhappy. Please think carefully for your children, parents.

It may somehow affect the children.I have a workmate who was divorced just 40 days after her baby was born and brought up her son all by herself.Till now,her son is already 3 years old,and I can clearly find that that boy is different form other kids who are from normal families.All my workmates says that the boy is not as pure as other kids,and the boy often says "I will kill you "such as this kind of words.

Frustration for the children to have a broken family. But if the parent explain to the kids why they need to separate they will understand in time. And for the parent make it sure they don't forget there obligation to the kids. Because some children become rebel because of that. They seek some attention to other people.
