We’re Still Family: What Grown Children Have to Say About Their Parents’ Divorce , which was written by Constance Ahrons, is a highly-praised book that has gotten some very positive reviews.
Ahorns randomly selected 98 pairs of divorced parents in Wisconsin and conducted a five-year study. She then went back later on to learn how the children of these divorced parents fared and managed to interview 90% of them.
Approximately three-fourths of the 173 “children”, who ranged in their 30’s, thought their parents’ divorces were a good idea, and that they were all better off than if they had stayed together.
