Hi guys, my IRP topic for this year is “To what extent does divorce effect the social and emotional development of children“. If anybody has parents that are divorced and grew up in a divorced family; it would be an immense help if you could fill out this questionnaire, and get it back asap. Thank you in advance 
If you would prefer to fill it out in a word document, I have attached it here. Btw, there's no need to sign the consent form since it's over the net, but give it a read anyways.

The questionnaire is for the research of Divorce and its impact on the social and emotional development of children.
This questionnaire involves questions about the divorce your parents have experienced and how it has impacted on your social and emotional development as a child.
This questionnaire is voluntary and if at any time you feel uncomfortable you may withdraw. Your responses will be kept anonymous and remain confidential between myself and my Community and Family Studies teacher, Ms Penny Lineham. If you are used within a case study, your name will be changed.
If you would like to ask any further questions, both my teacher and I can be contacted:
