Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Judith Wallerstein and her colleagues, most children of divorced parents were coping reasonably well after 5 years. While there may be exceptions, this was the overall finding of their studies. Option A is incorrect as the studies did not suggest that most children resented their parents and severed relationships with one or both parents. Option B is not supported by the information given in the question. Option C is also unlikely, as children of divorced parents may face financial challenges due to the split, especially if one parent has custody and/or if child support is not paid. Option E is not mentioned in the question or supported by the studies cited.
