This will be my LAST POST!!! For this class anyways :) This week we discussed divorce, remarriage and step-families. Something interesting my teacher pointed out was that boys often have a harder time with divorce than girls do. We tried to formulate reasons as to why this would be. I believe it is because usually the children live with their mother after the divorce. This leaves the family with no male to preside, provide and protect the family. This responsibility then may lay on the oldest, or most responsible, male child's shoulders. We discussed the issues with divorce and remarriage but also pointed out that in nuclear families problems need to be solved and dealt with as well. Divorced and re-married families may just have an added measure of difficulty with this.
