description | Transition to parenthood is a vulnerable period for spouses and can consequently lead
to the disintegration of their relationship. The purpose of this research was to examine
the experience of this transition, circumstances and risk factors for divorce from the
perspective of divorcees in Slovenia who divorced in the first year of their child’s life. On
the basis of semi
-structured interviews with 15 divorcees, the findings of studies examining
changes after the birth of a child were confirmed. The results pointed to risk factors for
marriage, such as uncertain relationship between spouses prior to the childbirth, permeable
boundaries in relations with families of origin, lack of practical and emotional support,
and unreal expectations. The child’s arrival accentuates unsolved issues from the past
and brings additional vulnerability to the relationship. The findings of this research are
a contribution to the development of preventive, educative and therapeutic programmes
for couples in transition to parenthood. |
