[0] argues that there is a differential impact of divorce on the children depending on the type of family they come from. You can divide families into two broad groups – high-functioning and low-functioning. High-functioning families, the parents may be unhappy, but they try hard to hide their unhappiness from their children, and the children may have no idea the parents have any marital issues. Low-functioning families, the children are very-well aware of their parents' unhappiness, they witness constant fighting, even abuse and domestic violence. Children from low-functioning families often experience their parents' divorce as a relief, and can even benefit from it. Children from high-functioning families, their experience of their parents' divorce is often much more negative.
