Hostility is One Affect



One of the behavior problems that can be generated when parents’ divorce, is hostility. Hostility is an umbrella term for various hostile emotions including anger, wrath and resentment. Although there may be a multitude of reasons why some children become hostile after their parents’ divorce according to Melinda Smith, M.A., Jocelyn Block, M.A., Jeanne Segal, Ph.D., and Gina Kemp, M.A., this feeling mainly arises because they feel as though you are removing their sense of peace and normalcy. Hostility also might arise because the child feels that the parent who leaves him and is no longer around is abandoning him.
