Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines the effects of early parental divorce on multi-dimensional views of parent–child relationships (e.g. support, strain, contact), alcohol consumption, and depressive symptoms among adult children. Many studies have shown that parental divorce has impacts on children’s well-being; however, few studies have examined the long-term effects of parental divorce on adult health. Using the Americans’ Changing Lives survey, regression results show that childhood parental divorce is associated with depression and drinking, in part due to parent–child relationships and adversity in early life. In addition, parental divorce is associated with adult daughters’ drinking and depressive symptoms, suggesting that women are more vulnerable regarding early-life stressors.
