Children of divorce wary
of marriage, study shows
United Press International
BERKELEY, Calif. — Chil
dren of divorce look back on
their childhood with lingering
sorrow and are extra cautious
before marriage and childbear
ing, a 10-year study shows.
“Although the greater major
ity of those young people today
are economically self-support
ing or still enrolled in educatio
nal programs and are law-abid
ing as well as relatively stable in
their choice of residence, a sig
nificant number share the sense
that their childhood and adoles
cence were significantly bur
dened by the parental divorce,”
says Judith Wallerstein, visiting
senior lecturer in the University
“Overall, these youngsters
emerged as young adults that
take economic responsibility for
themselves,” she said. “Of those
still in school, a significant num
ber are working at part-time or
full-time jobs to support their
way. Some youngsters with very
wealthy fathers are working
their way through the univer
sity by a combination of part-
time jobs.”
Wallerstein interviewed the
subjects at several intervals after
their parents’ divorces.
Her research at the 18-
month interval revealed a split
between the sexes, with young
boys feeling more vulnerable
and troubled than the girls in
their behavior at school, on the
playground and at home.
In her latest study, she said, a
new pattern was emerging
among the young women, many
of whom left home after high
school graduation to live with
older men.
“These young women are at
tractive, intelligent and, in some
instances, highly talented. Yet
they are^worried, even despair
ing, fearful of being rejected in
their search for a man who
would care for them and bur
dened by an anxiety, which they
related directly to their parents’
divorce,” she said.
“A few among them were
consumed with the anxiety that
relationships could not be
trusted from minute to min
ute,” Wallerstein said.
The study did not focus on
the significance of who initiated
the divorce or how that variable
might affect boys and girls dif
ferently.
Most of those surveyed were
eager for monogamous, lasting
relationships, but the majority
agreed marriage should not be
entered into early or hastily.
“These young people re
mained critical of their parents
for having made the mistake of
a misguided or foolish mar
riage,” the sociologist said.
“They were especially critical of
their parents for not having rec
tified or recognized the mistake
before the children were born.”
As a result, the young adults
favored living with a lover for
several years prior to marriage,
then waiting a few more year
before having children,
Wallerstein said.
Most of the respondents are
from white, middle-class homes
in northern California.
