Divorce definitely has some bad impact on the children of all ages. The parents who think they need to divorce each other must share the decision with the children and calmly tell them about the consequences and also listen to their feelings. It can be really harmful if the parents just suddenly break the ice without even listening to what they have to say. It may be that the children will sometimes want to stop the whole thing from happening; in some cases they may show rage in some cases they may be passive to the matter (Lamanna, Riedmann, & Stewart, 2014 p. 422).
