The Effects of Divorce on Women & Men
Like any major life change, divorce can cause great amounts of stress. While men and women may express their emotions differently, both experience a period of emotional adjustment. In addition to the emotional effects of divorce, men and women may also experience financial changes and changes to their parental roles.
