Mothers in contemporary families move in and out of romantic relationships – including marriage and cohabitation – over their children's youth and beyond. This paper will examine how change and stability in the family of origin impacts children's mental health in adolescence and longitudinally into young adulthood. Specifically, this paper extends previous research by examining multiple types of transitions, including divorce and cohabitation dissolution, as well as the number of transitions, and also by examining mental health not only in adolescence but across the transition to adulthood.
