If teens of divorced families do act differently from their peers, then how do they exhibit actions that are different? Somehow, I can identify them as soon as they walk into my office or room. You may not believe they act differently. One reason why you might believe it is because most modern psychologists want you to believe this. They teach their clients and write in their books anger management tips that children from divorced families act no differently than teens from regular families. Going on from that statistic and when I would ask these teens about their families their reply usually went something like this, “I live with my mother/father, and my step-mother/father.”
