[quote=Anonymous]It depends on your kid.  You have to make a determination about how you believe a divorce would affect your specific child.  Some children do fine.  Sometimes it is better for a specific child.  Divorce sometimes ruins kids lives and has long-term consequences.  My brother and I reacted very differently.  I was fine at 16, but my 13 year old brother was devastated and it took him almost 20 years to get over it.

Additionally, you don't know what your divorce could turn into.  If you think your kid could easily get through an easy divorce, and then it turns into something nasty or things get said that shouldn't get said to the kids or in front of the kids, that could change what you think.

I left my abusive marriage, because I had to.  And because I married my father, realized my mother married someone like her father, and I wanted to give my daughter a chance at having a healthy relationship by modeling good relationships.  She's taken it okay.  I left when she was 4 and she's 6 now.[/quote]
