blog post #6
My topic is on divorces. To be more
specific, I wanted to focus on parents who get divorces. My research question
is, "Is divorce the easiest route to take when things go sour in a
marriage?". My claim is that divorce shouldn't be the primary
solution because it is expensive, causes poverty, and can negatively impact a
child's life. I personally chose this topic because I can semi relate to this
topic. My parents were on the verge of getting a divorce when I was about 16 or
17 years old and I can remember all the tough nights it took me to go to sleep,
hearing them argue and sometimes seeing my mother cry, or even slacking in
school due to depression and fear of being alone. It was very hard for me
thinking that I wasn't going to be able to see my dad ever again or vis versa.
I can only imagine how kids younger or older than me is feeling while actually
facing this hysterical issue.
Not only can this affect children, but
it affects the parents too. Some end up losing their homes or cars in result of
poor finances. Many mothers struggle getting back on their feet yet alone
bringing a child along with them. Fathers also get the short end of the stick
as well. Most of them suffer getting little or no custody of their child and
still end up having to pay child support which can cost up to thousands a
month. Divorce is an increasing dilemma and I want to do more research on it
and find ways that it can be prevented and resolved for the better.
