2. What was your overall experience with divorce? Have your thoughts about divorce changed? In what ways? What resource impacted your perspective about divorce?

3. If you were a psychologist, what advice would you give to your clients about how to best handle a divorce, so it has minimal effects on the children? 4. How old were you/was the individual when you/they experienced the parents' divorce? 5. What memories do you have of this experience? What were some of the positive aspects of the divorce (if any)? What were some of the negative aspects of the divorce (if any)? 6. How much time has passed since the divorce initially took place? How have things changed since then? Has the situation improved? Deteriorated? In what ways? 7. Based on your experience, do you feel there may be situations where divorce can be a good thing for couples with children? Why or why not?
