Eylül Öztürk: I got divorced in America and discovered something very strange

Content creator Eylül Öztürk, who got divorced in America, spoke about the divorce process.

In a video shared on her account, Öztürk evaluated the perception of the divorce process and cultural perspectives in Turkey and America.

Eylül Öztürk also made comments on how children are affected by the divorce process.

Here are the statements used by Öztürk: 

“Even if it is well-intentioned, divorce is handled in a very dramatic way in our culture, and children are the ones most affected by this. 

Because the perception of ‘Oh dear, I’m a divorcee now. My children will grow up without a father’ is constantly imposed on you by society, you start to think this way within yourself as well. 

In reality, the child only looks at whether they feel safe and whether their communication with their mother and father is healthy.

Because we attach a cultural meaning to divorce, our children are the ones most affected.”
