Not necessarily. Starmi could be in need of a focus group to have a discussion, and then take secondary research from our discussion. That said, I don't know much for this topic.
If it's not too late for your PIP, I can say the following: My parents divorced when I was 9, and I've pretty much gotten used to it by now. Other than that, I did find it hard when I was younger, because I found difficulty in identifying where I was meant to refer to as "home".
I also had a problem organising things with friends, as I was always ferrying between the two houses, and that took ages because the parents lived hours apart. Then there was the whole thing where my mother wouldn't let me buy things and take them to my father's house. That was very frustrating.
So, yeah, I can say that it had a negative effect. It was very frustrating and upsetting at times, but I'm over it now. Life goes on.
Now I've spilled my life story, I hope this topic doesn't die. And I want a reference!
