<li> cope with the grief, fear, and anger that accompany divorce</li> <li> adjust to having two homes and changes in financial status</li> <li> assert their right to be teens, to separate from their parents' problems, and to love both parents</li> <li> not get caught in the middle of battling parents</li> <li> understand that the divorce is not their fault and overcome feelings of guilt</li> </ul>
