Divorce Process The years leading up to the divorce are the most devastating, as the parents become "emotionally unavailable" to their children
Divorce Effects on Children: Age Less than 5 years - very few memories, protected 6-11 years - blame themselves/fear abandonment 12-16 years - act "unphased" but deeply affected 17-20 years - more understanding
Divorce Effects on Children: Gender Boy children are generally hit harder by divorce, as they aren't socially allowed to feel bad about it
Advice to Divorcing Parents Protect kids from boundary violations (via bashing the other parent, putting the kid in the middle as a mediator, making them choose one parent or the other, or sharing inappropriate information) and don't make unkeepable promises

The Search for Identity teens "try on hats", one of the 2 tasks of the teen years
Quest for Independence One of the 2 tasks of the teen years, the tighter the bond the greater the struggle for independence Common parental mistakes are not giving enough freedom, bailing teens out, and invading their privacy
Typical Teen Behaviors increased moodiness, argumentativeness, and need for privacy with decreased affection driven by biology
Passion One of 3 traits of romantic love, the physical portion of attraction. "falling in love", the easy/fun part
Intimacy One of 3 traits of romantic love, communication and trust, the hard part
Commitment One of the 3 traits of romantic love, builds over time and constantly increases
Secure Attachment in Relationships Secure in themselves, don't run from intimacy but know how to give space

Avoidant Attachment in Relationships "Runners", they run away from any form of intimacy
Problems in Relationships Online stuff, lack of trust, jealousy (when it morphs into a need to control), breaking up and getting back together, and the mixed expectations of sex in relationships
Sex's Effect on Relationships Changes expectations (in M/F, women expect more attention/commitment/respect, men expect more sex) expectations are often high, while reality is low
Ending the Relationship Worried about wrong decision, invested, you love them and don't want to hurt them, the relationship is comfortable, you love their family End the relationship quickly and smoothly, rather than drawing it to a painful and slow death
