Problem:
How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Who is affected most? Not everyone is affected equally by parents' divorce. The age of the child when the parents separate makes a difference. It is often assumed that if parents separate when their children are either very young or all grown up, the effect of the divorce will be minor. Effects might indeed be less severe for these two age groups, but researchers have found that divorce can affect children at all ages. Infants from divorced families are more likely than those in intact families to be insecure and disorganized in their attachments to their mothers and fathers (Solomon & George, 2011) and less positive and engaged in play with their parents (Clarke-Stewart et al., 2000). Children who are a few years older when their parents divorce are likely to be confused, fearful, and anxious and can regress to more immature forms of behavior (Clarke-Stewart & Brentano, 2006). As one college student recalls (Clarke-Stewart & Brentano, 2005, p. 111):"I was four years old when my parents divorced, and I felt confused and bewildered. I started sucking my thumb and withdrew from activities with other children. I was very fearful about being abandoned by my mother, and I did not understand why I was being forced to see my father. I felt I did not know him and was angry at him without understanding the reason. I remember only feeling really 'safe' in my mother's presence. She was the only person I could trust."
