What is the real legacy of divorce? To answer this question,
Constance Ahrons, Ph.D., interviewed one hundred and seventy-three
grown children whose divorcing parents she had interviewed twenty
years earlier for her landmark study, the basis of which was the
highly acclaimed book "The Good Divorce," What she has learned is
both heartening and significant.
Challenging the stereotype that children of divorce are
emotionally troubled, drug abusing, academically challenged, and
otherwise failing, Dr. Ahrons reveals that most children can and do
adapt, and that many even thrive in the face of family change.
Although divorce is never easy for any family, she shows that it
does not have to destroy children's lives or lead to a family
breakdown. With the insight of these grown children and the advice
of this gifted family therapist, divorcing parents will find
helpful road maps identifying both the benefits and the harms to
which postdivorce children are exposed and, ultimately, what they
can do to maintain family bonds.
