[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ended a marriage when my kids were almost 2 and almost 5.  Very hard decision--but the best decision I've made.

Years later I'm in a LTR relationship with a man who divorced when his kids were 10 and 13.

The divorce and aftermath have been much easier on my kids because they were younger.  Less time in a dysfunctional family, more time under the new norm.  My boyfriend really wishes he'd ended his marriage when his kids were younger.

I second guessed myself about leaving, especially because the kids were so young and I wondered if things would get better.  But we had been together over 10 years at that point and I knew neither of us was changing.  So many problems that existed before under the surface came to a head with children.  The children's ages weren't the problem.  and the problems were not going to disappear.

Divorce was the best thing I did for myself and the kids.[/quote]

I am glad it has worked out for you.  I'm just so scared it won't work out so well for my kids if I leave.  [/quote]
