   But by the mid-1970s what had once been regarded as hostile to children’s best interests was considered essential to adults’s happiness. "A two-parent home is not the only emotional structure within which a child can be happy and healthy, "a popular divorce book of this era proclaimed. “The parents who take care of themselves will be best able to take care of their children. ”
   As this optimistic view took shape, many experts believed that the psychological impact of divorce on children was like a bad cold. There was a phase of acute discomfort, then a short recovery. Kids would be back on their feet in no time, with no lasting harm.
   Psychologist
   Divorce not only makes it more difficult for young adults to establish new relationships. It also can weaken, or change in other ways, the oldest primary relationship: that between parent and child. According to Wallerstein, children of divorce find changes in their parental relationships at every stage of their develpment. “In a reasonably happy intact family, ” Wallerstein observes, “The child gravitates first to one parent and then to the other, using skills and attributes from each in climbing the developmental ladder. “In a divorced family, children discover it’s ” harder to find the needed parent at needed times. ”
   Researcher
   Research shows that girls in single-parent families are at greater risk for premature sexuality, teen-age marriage, teen pregnancy, nonmarital birth, and divorce than are girls in two parent families—and that this is true regardless of race or income. Also, children in disrupted families are nearly twice as likely to drop out of high school. Boys are at greater risk for dropping out than girls and are more prone to aggressive behavior.
   These findings underscore the importance of both a mother and a father in fostering the emotional well-being of children. Obviously, not all children in two-parent families are free from emotional turmoil, but few are burdened with the kinds of troubles that accompany family breakup.
   Officer
   For a single parent, remarriage brings new commitments and hope for enduring love and happiness. For a child, the same event often provokes sadness, anger and rejection. The National Commission on Children, a bipartisan group headed by Sen. John D. Rockefeller, reported that stepfamily children more often said they felt lonely or blue than did children from single-parent or intact families.
   The commission also found that parents in stepfamilies do not invest as much time in their children as the parents in intact families or even single parents do. They are less involved in a child’s school life or extracurricular activities. In Wallerstein’s study, they also contributed less to children’s college education.
   Novelist
   Over the past 2 decades Americans have been conducting a vast natural experiment in family life. The results are becoming clear. Adults have benefited from the changes, but not children indeed, this may be the first generation to do worse psychologically and socially than its parents.
   The novelist Pat Conroy has observed that “each divorce is the death of a small civilization. ” No one feels this more acutely than children.
