A study found that the more divorces and remarriages a child lives through, the more likely he is to divorce and the more failed marriages he'll experience as an adult. Do you see this as the future of the children in this novel?

Personally, I do! Rejection and poor relationship skills are so prevalent in this clan that I can see nothing but problems ahead for those poor kids!

That old expression "a child lives what he learns" is unfortunately often true and Adrian's children were all troubled and hiding their feelings in one way or another. The examples they saw of what a marriage is certainly won't help them to have healthy relationships as they grow up.
