Yes divorce does scar. and "here" makes more sense. and "scar's" means "belonging to a scar" - you meant "scars" Consider this an example of irritability caused by unhealed scars.

It does. But these type of scars are really useful as survival skills in the dating field.

Divorce is emotionally wounding and traumatic for all concerned, especially if there are children involved. Children need parental support at a time when both parents are broken and trying to escape or remedy a broken relationship whilst trying to justify or absolve their behaviour to their children. It is a terrible experience, bordering upon the arcane. It’s hard to condemn any party within a divorcing family situation. There are men horrendously emotional abused by ex wives, some who commit adultery, and others who because of poor communication and pressures of life become violent and abusive. Spouses undoubtedly suffer, yet children are the innocent parties. Each attempt to justify this emotional brutality upon little ones whilst endeavouring to escape what has become a volatile and deeply painful situation. I think people underestimate the terrible ramifications of divorce, most divorces are caused by adultery, a symptom of promiscuity and lack of moral substance in modern day society. If the government or church seek to reimplement a social structure. If people require freedom from shackles then children should never be introduced to a relationship. Each child deserves at the very least a comfortable safe home and two loving parents as role models. In the absence of such commitment, children should not be an option.

I've been through one so I know for a fact that it will leave a mark that is hard to forget.

My parents divorced when I was seven (and I had two sisters who were also in elementary school) and I still deal with the effects to this day. It is unfortunate but I would have to say that my parents divorce was the defining moment of my childhood. I definitely learned and grew from the experience, but it completely changed my life and was incredibly difficult to deal with at such a young age. Divorce affects many different people besides the couple, and that is one reason I want to be completely sure of the person I'm going to marry before tying the knot. I agree with a previous poster that every child should be able to grow with a loving mother and father. A strong family and home-life can really help a child's emotional development, especially in the pre-teen and teenage years.

It is a major contributing factor to many problems in every society...family is the foundation of every culture and when your foundation is weak then you can't stand for long

Ive been through one and I still remember everything that happened to this day (7 years later) from being escorted off the property to our final day in court. Those things you just can't forget.

I was twelve when my parents were divorced. I think that a divorce is always uncomfortable and very emotional for everyone involved. Unfortunately, a divorce usually leaves atleast one party angry/vengeful and that can lead to nasty behaviour. Even with two civil people, divorce can be painful. I'll never forget the day my father walked out the door with his suitcase. I stood in the driveway in shock waiting for him to say something. He said nothing. He got in his car and drove away. He didn't look back. That killed me.
