I second that. To an adult, divorce = Maybe new job, new home, loss of a companion, lots of stress. To a child, it goes like this:
Divorce = Confusion, moving, loss of friends, coping with a new environment and a new school, trying to understand why "mommy and daddy don't love each other anymore," dealing with overly-stressed-out parents, wondering which parent you'll have to live with, wondering how often you'll be able to see your other parent (which often leads to animosity against the one you're living with), and so much more. I know; my mom went through multiple marriages when I was a kid, and by the time I graduated high school, I had gone to a total of 8 different schools, starting with elementary school.
