2) Traumatic early life experiences can lead kids to opt to drugs from a young age to overcome their overpowering feelings. 3) Because of attempts to self-medicate or to reduce mood symptoms, adolescents abuse drugs because of their dysregulated stress system, leading them to have addictive behaviors. – Harder time trusting others: 1) The future of the child is impacted by parental divorce, and trust is impacted in the child’s life from an early age. Because of the lack of trust they have as a result of their parents’ divorce, they will find it more difficult to make friends and relationships later in life. 2) The value of a child’s adult interpersonal connections is strongly influenced by the parental role in that child’s upbringing.

A parent’s marital problems, including divorce, may have had a direct impact on a child’s psychological health, close relationships, level of trust in friends and acquaintances, and level of trust in general. 3) Instability reduces their levels of trust and promotes fear of constitutional change. After the divorce, it could be detrimental to the child’s wellbeing if a parent is absent from their life, that could lead to insecurity and attachment problems that make them either overly trusting or entirely untrusting in future relationships.

This sometimes turns kids off from handling money, because they don’t realize that the assets aren’t really the main problem. 3) In many families, money becomes an instrument of manipulation or conflict, and children sometimes lose interest in handling money because they do not understand that assets are not really the problem.
