How does the child feel about their parents' divorce? Renata Iancu: "Abandonment, loss, sadness, guilt, stigma!"

The expert emphasized that parents' divorce represents a significant challenge to children's psycho-emotional balance and can lead to the emergence of serious dysfunctions. According to the specialist, for children, their parents' divorce primarily means feelings of abandonment. They experience the separation as a profound loss, feeling sadness, guilt, and sometimes even stigma.

"The divorce of parents affects the psycho-emotional balance of children and generates dysfunctions, sometimes major ones.

For children, their parents' divorce means abandonment. They feel this separation as a loss. The child experiences sadness, guilt, and stigma.

The child does not perceive real stigma but rather realizes the absence of a pillar of personal balance. In the absence of this balance, the child changes their behavior.

We can give the example of a cheerful child transforming into a sad child. The child who previously did not lie now feels the need to be seen, not necessarily in a positive way", said Renata Iancu on "Present Parents", a show by ParintisiPitici.ro.

After the period of uncertainty and guilt experienced by the child, psychologist Renata Iancu highlighted that the following states may arise: "insecurity, distrust, sadness, fear of separation, fear of abandonment".
