Yes. Some children blame themselves for the break-up of their family, thinking that it must have been something they did that caused it. Particularly if their parents used to argue about the kids in their hearing.
If the parents run each other down to the children when it is their turn to have them, the effect can be very traumatic. The child is pulled in two different directions causing a great deal of damage to the child psychologically.
There is always a sadness associated with a divorce, no matter how old the children are, whether you understand the reasons or not for the break-up.
It is never easy to watch those you love suffering in any way and not being able to help.

My husband's parents divorced when he was five years old. I think in his particular case, he took marriage more seriously because he didn't want to repeat the mistakes his parents made and he didn't want his own children to have to go through what he did.

I think it makes you seriously question marriage and commitment. It could affect your current or future relationships.
