[quote=Anonymous] I think I've posted here before about the same thing.

A very close friend of mine had his parents separate and and divorce shortly after the youngest of the siblings left for university.

By all accounts, this was a very loving and normal household. All the kids went to private elementary school, well paced public high schools, and on to successful post secondary education.

I was a frequent visitor in the house and always wished this "perfect" family was mine.

Well,then he'll broke loose when the divorce happened. All three children were left wondering if their entire happy childhoods were a lie. They felt they had to take one parents side, or another. All three ended up having problems developing normal, trusting adult relationships because their whole perception was shattered, but shattered AS ADULTS.

In essence, they were left wondering that if that happy childhood was actually misery, could eh ever trust their own instincts on happiness?

Conversely, one of my friends divorced her husband when their child was just a young whipper. They co-parent beautifully. Their relationship is kind, warm, and cooperative. They have both gone n to other relationships, and new spouses are welcome within the bugger circle and idea of family. Their son sees that somethimes things don't work out, but that his parents LOVEim to the end of the earth. And he's gone on to a healthy, normal adult relationship.

So no, I don't think it's the best to stay together for the children. T
