What are the effects of divorce on children?

Almost 50% of marriages end in divorce.  But what about the kids?  They move back and forth between homes and they might need to deal with new marriages, siblings and the sadness of never having both parents in their lives at once. Andrea Heyman remembers her young childhood as a really happy time but once her parents separated she had to learn to cope. Divorce has a lasting impact on kids and Andrea's story recounts some beautiful memories alongside feelings of abandonment and heartbreak.

Adopted at birth Emily O'Neil's story is one of feeling like an outsider, lonely and disconnected for much of her childhood. Whilst there were happy times, the need to belong and to be seen and heard were strong. Emily's voice is full of wisdom now as she recounts her childhood story including, sadly, a deep desire to end her own life at the age of just 13.
