That’s why every time when I needed to have a serious “talk” with the kids’ mother in England, I always kept the kids away. I mean this is a common sense, is it not? Why do the kids need to hear loud arguments to leave them emotional traumas for the rest of their life? Arguing in front of children is very damaging their childhood, and then towards their adulthood!!!
And also, if you have very young children with your husband who is cheating on you, DO NOT bring your children to treat your husband!!! The problem and fight are between the adults, NOT the children!!! If you think they are too young to understand, then you are absolutely WRONG!!! They might not be able to understand what you two are fighting, but they have already developed their feelings on what make them scared!!! If you adults have issues, DO NOT GET YOUR CHILDREN INVOLVED!!!
Arguing parents can give a child teenage depression
- Children and teenagers who saw arguments were significantly likelier to have mental health problems
- Researchers have now devised a test to identify those at risk of depression so children can be helped earlier

Children who often see their parents having rows are at risk of depression, experts have warned.
Teenagers who witnessed lots of arguments in early childhood were more likely to suffer from the illness than others, said a Cambridge University team.
‘Violent arguments in front of the children contribute to the likelihood of depression,’ said Professor Barbara Sahakian, of the university’s psychiatry department and co-author of the report.
Research has found those who witnessed frequent arguments during childhood and possessed a gene making them more sensitive to emotions, were significantly likelier to become depressed
‘If you are staying together for the sake of the family, then fighting and arguing in front of the kids is not good. It would be better for them not to have that kind of environment.’
The team identified a gene that made some children more sensitive to emotions and also more likely to develop depression.
Researchers came up with a simple test, that can be carried out at school, to identify those at risk of depression, allowing youngsters to get help before they suffer with the disease.
Researchers found that teenagers who struggled to process emotional information were more likely to develop mental health problems.
In the study of 238 children, aged between 15 and 18, those who did worst at the test were up to four times more likely to develop depression within a year.
Previous research has found one in 10 British children aged between five and 16 years old have had mental health problems
Those who did badly had a gene – present in one in five people – that made them less emotionally resilient.
They also lived in households where they had been exposed before the age of six to intermittent arguments for longer than six months. One in three children live like this, said the team.
Professor Ian Goodyer, principal investigator on the study, said: ‘Whether we succumb to anxiety and depression depends in part on our tendencies to think well or poorly of ourselves at troubled times.
How it comes about that some people see the glass half full and think positively, whereas others see the glass half empty and think negatively about themselves at times of stress is not known.
The evidence is that our genes and early childhood experiences contribute.’
Previous research has found that one in ten British children aged between five and 16 years old have had mental health problems.
In any given year, one in four people will suffer a mental health disorder, with most having a form of depression and anxiety.
