[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the higher rates.  I do not always believe the conclusions or inferences made from those studies.  Correlation <> causation.

For example, many divorces are due to mental health issues, including undiagnosed.  So, since some of that is genetic, it makes sense that children and siblings of those people have higher rates of the same issues and thus divorce.  But that doesn't mean that their divorces are being caused by parents/siblings divorces.[/quote]

I agree. One of my parents is a recovered alcoholic. They are remarried now as a sober person but it took a lot of therapy to get sober and they were resistant to that therapy until my other parent finally had enough and divorced to try and get more stability for me and my sibling. Too much had happened for them to reconcile but I do sometimes wonder if that parent hadn't been so drunkenly resistant to getting help if the marriage might have recovered. My other parent really gave it everything they had to try to keep our family unit intact. [/quote]
