While other children tend to slack in their studies or others rebel to their parents after the divorce, my cousin's children doesn't seem to have that effect on them. They are both girls, 12 and 15 at the time it happened. They seem to be well adjusted to having their dad away since they now live in a different country. They only see him once a year. I guess it helps that my cousin was very open to them. She said she told them everything and she answers all their questions about them.

I guess when the children are able to understand the situation, they don't rebel. Your cousin is lucky to have such understanding children.

It very cool, that they have take it lightly. However, this particular event might coz a certain influence in their own life later on.

It could in the relationship with their respective husband or in their approach towards life itself.

In some way or another it might influence them even though they have seemed to cope with it so well.

Kids dont always rebel towards thier parents, I mean if they are old enough to understand what happened. If thier parents never tried to stay for the kids ect. I persoanlly think that girls also adjust more then boys do.

I guess it also boils down to how the parents treat thier ex, if mum and dad are civil to each other then the kids will love each parent equally.

Means, she had a friendly relationship with her daughters just like me, i am very happy to hear this. This is only due to your upbringing, and hence you won't have to worry about them as they are enough mature and clever.

This is the result of being so affectionate to them, your cousin must have explained everything to them and really cared for them, or may be they knew that their parents were not happy together!

I think that your cousin has been able to communicate clearly with the children and they have been able to understand.That has been the key in this situation.
I think that it is always a good idea to tell the truth to children in those situations so that it is clear in their mind.
