Divorce

Divorce In any case a divorce is something that is certainly not welcomed by anyone: mother, father or children. “A marriage is a bond between two people and often children are brought into scene and if a bond such as this is broken it can lead to severe consequences”. One consequence is a custody battle if children are involved. Another consequence is how the children will respond. This can be determined by many different factors such as; age and gender of the children. Boys therefore act differently than the girls and their age can be a deciding factor in this as well. Boys take a longer amount of time to adjust, and they also tend to have more trouble with school, withdraw from social activities, and initiate fights with their schoolmates. Basically, boys cope by projecting their anger or hurt onto others. This is the case in little 9 year old Arturo when he says, “I am going to smash my father’s teeth.”(Gonzalez 347) This can be believed to be caused by males being naturally aggressive and after a traumatizing event it can lead to violence as he demonstrated.
