M: Dear audiences, today we'll talk about divorce and its effect on children. Our guest is Jennifer Benzes. Thank you for coming, Jennifer. Do you mind saying something about your divorce?
W: No. I got divorced years ago. Even worse, I got divorced when I had small children.
M: Have you thought of the effect divorce may have on your children? Their needs can be forgotten as parents are struggling to re-establish their lives.
W: Of course, we have. We are definitely more aware of the impact on children. After all we are not famous people who trade spouses like shoes. For most of us divorce is not entered into lightly. We all suffer. Anyway, we try to comfort our children.
M: How?
W: We tell them we love them and will always do.
M: You haven't thought of saving the marriage?
W: Yes, we have. We would do anything to spare our children pain. But you know, fixing a marriage is not like changing a tire. Family conflicts may take hold like a cancer.

W: It's true with me. Others may succeed in fixing.
M: Yet most people believe a had marriage is better for children than a divorce. According to a recent poll, more people today think parents should stay together for the sake of the children What do you think?
W: I think the cost of staying together is worse than the benefits. Parents quarrelling and fighting all day may do more harm to their children.
M: What do you want society to do for you?
W: Understand us, not curse us. More importantly, they should help us share the loss and build a better future.
