Conclusions effects of enough omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular system in the elderly 49
‘The biggest risk factor and predictor of poor outcome for children is continu-
ing conflict between the parents, weak adaptation of parents to divorce, incom-
petent parenting and insufficient contact between kid and one or both parents’
(Andrejč 2014, p. 38). Children need a clear message from the parents – we love
you, we are both your parents and we will do anything for you. Even though we
are not living together anymore, we will cooperate and take care of you together.
Despite divorce, both parents keep their roles as parents. They still have their
duties and rights. However, it is up to parents if they will be meaningfully in-
volved in their children’s life. Studies show, that parents’ response to divorce af-
fects the child’s experience of divorce and the outcome.
