Letter: Divorce patterns set in childhood
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The children of a broken marriage are more likely than others to regard divorce as the only way out of stress between married couples. They will not be able to see that people who stay married are not "spitting in the wind of change" as Ms Toynbee suggests. It's just that they have found a more mature way of dealing with their differences so that neither their children nor society will suffer.
