Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Children often blame themselves for their parents' divorce. They may believe that they were bad or naughty and that their behavior drove the other parent away; they may believe that they are too unlovable or that they are too expensive for the parent to care for them; in the case of a deceased parent, they may have wished their parent was dead at some point in time. These feelings of guilt, self-blame, and unworthiness can lead to a child's acting out, rebelling against the new stepparent, or withdrawing from family and friends.
