All the mothers considered in this study had fought competently to protect their marriages. The study found that more than 50% of the mothers were less responsive and available to the children during the post-divorce era compared to during the failing marriage. Almost 33% of the parents forgot about their children during the post-divorce period to concentrate on rebuilding their intimate relationships, exposing most of the children to truancy and delinquent activities. However, such behaviors among children subsided the moment mothers resumed their parental responsibilities and developed stabilized marriages. The research journal tends to challenge the fact that some people view divorce as a time-bound crisis where children who have continued access to the two parents will recover within a very short time after the differences have been solved.
