People get divorced… that hasn't changed much… almost as much as they did twenty years ago. What has changed is our attitudes around divorce. No longer carrying the social stigma it did back in our parents and grandparents day, some now even engage in "starter marriages" as they would approach a "starter home". Despite the change in shame around divorce, it still affects families, especially children. Today we'll look at divorce, how it touches people's lives and our changing cultural feelings towards the end of marriage. Laura's guests are Bill Chausse, Vice President of Child and Family Services of New Hampshire and Dr. Julia Lewis, Professor of Psychology at San Francisco State University and co-author of the book "Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: A 25 Year Landmark Study".
