A divorce is tough on everyone involved – but children are particularly vulnerable to stress and depression as they confront dramatic lifestyle changes. Despite the challenges of divorce, parents must prioritize their children’s well-being to ensure their young ones take a healthy perspective of the split.
Single motherhood is the new normal. The U.S. Census Bureau counted 12 million single-parent households in the United States in 2015 – and 80 percent of them were headed by single mothers.

The divorce rate in the United States is high – in fact, it’s higher than most European countries. According to data from the CDC’s National Vital Statistics System, the divorce rate in the United States in 2014 was about 3.6 per 1,000 people.
