Another theoretical perspective is
the differences in families who have divorced and those who have stayed married
regarding process variables.
Some of these variables are how families solve problems, deal with control issues, and how families express themselves.
With the family process perspective, proximal variables like how a child is raised is what shapes how they adjust to the divorce and how they can flourish instead of live as a negative statistic.
There is research that shows that there can be both positive and negative results of children of divorce (Hetherington, Bridges, and Insabella, 1998).
Thus, children can be resilent especially if they see their parents be strong and resilent. If a family implements effective coping skills and a positive outlook, it will influence their children to be able to do the same.
