[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering if there is any research on the question of what is better for kids: (1) seeing parents in a low conflict, but low interaction and zero affection marriage (basically living separate lives under one roof, but with zero fighting); or (2) a low conflict divorce. I am currently living in situation (1) purely for the benefit of my kids. I am in individual therapy and my therapist didn’t seem convinced that this IS necessarily better for them than a low conflict divorce. I am not aware of any research or expert opinions on this specific question and wondering if anyone else is? As a child of divorce, I still think it would have been better for the family if my parents had stuck it out in (1), for the simple reason that I didn’t like living between two separate residences. This is a big part of why I stay. [/quote] Definitely 2, without question. Because think about what you're modeling about relationships in scenario 1.[/quote]
