Foreboding comments, but I think it’s much worse than they report. The divorced baby boomers of the 70s/80s are going to have very lonely and sad elderly years. Their divorced children are themselves too busy and have too many of their own problems to care for them. The baby-boomer dysfunctional legacy will affect many generations to come.
Divorcees agreed more strongly with statements such as “I don’t have anyone I can confide in” and “I have no one to lean on in times of trouble” than married or remarried people. They also felt less satisfied with their home, financial situation and neighbourhood.
