Today I am joined by my friend Katelyn! We're drinking bubble tea and discussing parental separation's struggles, factors contributing to resilience, and potential advantages. Disclaimer: there are many varied experiences when it comes to parental separation, and so many contributing factors that could affect the results of studies. This is meant to be some information as to some research done in the field and a dive into the experiences of one person, not a generalization to all kids dealing with parental separation.
