The impact of divorce on children
Divorce can have profound and lasting impacts on children, affecting their emotional well-being, academic performance, and social development. According to research by the American Psychological Association, children of divorce may experience emotional distress, adjustment difficulties, and an increased risk of mental health issues, though many adapt successfully over time, especially with supportive co-parenting. The possibility of parents reuniting, even after many years, can represent a held hope for children who have navigated the complexities of their parents' separation.
Netizens react to the reunion
The viral clip gained 30.9M views, 5.5M likes, and over 12.6K comments from social media users who were mostly inspired. A common sentiment was that the couple's decision to reunite was every divorced couple's child's dream, reflecting hope for reconciliation after family separation.
Some praised the children, playfully suggesting they had somehow manifested their parents' reunion, attributing it to their long-held desires. Others, with a touch of humour, jokingly called out the couple for causing their children years of stress by remaining apart, despite still holding deep affection for each other.

"Divorced parents are so strange... Mine are divorced for almost 7 years, but still live in one house, because they raised my younger siblings together, they always say how they don't like each other, but when one of them is somewhere away, they're on the phone all day long, gossiping like teenagers."
