Introduction
Every year in the United States, roughly one million kids experience the divorce of their parents, witness the destruction of the only family that have ever know, and begin a new and fundamentally altered life. It is a life that was not of their choosing and a life that very few, if any, of them ever would have chosen for themselves. It is a life of constant transition – a life which reminds them over and over of their parents’ divorce. It is the beginning of a life, for many, that entails moving from the their mother’s home to their father’s home and back again over and over and over again. It is the beginning of a lifetime of switching hours. Each year between 18 and 20 million kids live the life of the switching hour. The Switching Hour: Kids of Divorce Say Good-Bye Again
