Is it true that anybody who comes from a broken home ( divorced) must be messed up in a way?

Answer 1

As much as I'm sorry to say but i really feel this would be true..

Answer 2

Well, I can tell you that when the family unit is broken, there's a lot of rebuilding to do. This may take some time. I think that some parents, despite the divorce, are good about creating the right circumstances for their children (like not fighting in front of them, or role modeling good communication skills even after the divorce.) It's difficult, though. The upshot is, that this life challenge gives one an opportunity to learn and grow, and overcome the similar behaviors that the parents role-modeled. Yes, people can get messed up.

Answer 3

I come from a dysfunctional home, divorced parents, plenty of
fights. And yes, I have found it to be very true.
I was a very screwed up person for many, many years.
It can leave you emotionally scared, insecure, with very little
or no self esteem. A situation like this, is never a good thing.
It only harms everyone involved, and can take years to fix these
problems. All I could suggest, would be this, never stop believing
in yourself. Always remember that this is not your fault.
You did not bring this on, you were only a part of this,
and you received the "war wounds" from all of this.
Always be strong, always hold your head up, and remember
that above all else, you are a good person, and will come out
of everything just fine. Courage, Peace, Strength, Wisdom,
Love and Understanding, to you always.
Sincerely, Jerry

That just depends on the quality of upbringing. But, studies show kids in a home without a father present in their life are more likely to have more troubles. Children need both parents or atleast a mother or father figure in divorced families. Too many times the need for a child to have their father is way too underestimated.

Answer 5

In some way, possibly. They will have things they have to deal with.
On the other hand, my parents stayed together - does that mean children from these types of homes aren't messed up?

Answer 6

Yes of course without a messed up it will not go to divorced.

Answer 7

I feel that how your parents react to each other after divorce has alot to do with how that child develops. For instance if one or both parents try to turn that child(or children) against one or the other that child may have problems. I know that its hard at first, but it does get better.

Answer 8

No. There are alot of people who come from broken homes and have highly succeeded in their life in very positive ways. It's all about mind over matter.

Answer 9

It depends, my kids have been through 3 seperations in their young lives, have been exposed to domestic violence situations displayed on me, by my x.
i think it takes alot of love and nurturing from the parent raising the children, are u a parent asking or a child?
Im sure my children are scarred in some way, keep counselling in mind if there are any concerns.
hope i helped, goodluck.

Answer 10

certainly not. it all depends on how the parents went about it. if they were straight up and honest it will be less painful. there is always going to be hurt but finding ways to minimise it are important. my sons live with thier mother (ex-wife) but we are friends and still do things as a family. they come first in both our lives even though we have moved on. they are great well adjusted boys but they know they can count on both of us anytime so i think that makes a huge difference for them to know that.

Answer 11

no my parents divorced when i was little and i am perfectly fine. i would not change any thing that happened in my life,i was a A student when i was in school and i have been happily married for 10 years now with a beautiful little girl. every thing happens for a reason,and we learn from other peoples mistakes.
