American research has shown that, facing the twin pressures of raising a family alone and trying to find a new partner, ten years after divorce only half of mothers and one in four fathers are able to take the same level of care of their children as they could pre-divorce.
根據美國的研究，離婚 10 年後，在獨力養家的經濟重擔與渴望新的情愛關係的雙重壓力下，能像離婚前一樣照顧孩子的母親只有半數，父親更只有四分之一。
