[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you divorced due to a slow realization that you'd grown apart, or one party lost interest in sex, but your interactions were always amicable and you co-parented well during marriage,  what is it like during divorce?

I assume divorces that happen because someone is a terrible or inattentive parent remain difficult after divorce with custody issues.

If someone cheated or mistreated you, I imagine co-parenting is difficult because there is a lot of anger at your former spouse.

Oh so you’re looking for a pass to break up your kids’ home because you still like each other?

So your divorce is not “terrible” for you; congratulations. Never mind that it will destroy your kids. [/quote]

Just stop. Divorce does not destroy kids. I am so sick of this. I am divorced. My kids are very happy. My parents are married...I had a horrible childhood growing up in a horribly toxic house, which made me accept poor behvavior in relationships.

Divorce can be just fine if the parents live close to each other, there is 50/50 and they are not toxic in front of the kids. 
Marriage that is horrible is much worse.

Also, even if it is just growing apart, better to do it sooner than wait until kids are older. It really does not have to be awful. Please stop using 1980s divorces as your model of how divorces are.

My kids completely get why we are not married. They are fine. We also occassionally do a family dinner. We actually NEVER did that married.

My parents are old now and hate each other. I have only seen them once a year for 25 years. They are horrible to be around.[/quote]
