[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fear?  Money?  Not wanting to downsize?

I don’t understand this mentality- can you explain?  Everyone I know whose parents “stayed for the kids,” later resented then for lying or have trouble in their own relationships now.  Not looking for any passive aggressive answers, I’m just genuinely curious as to how this models what a loving marriage should be to children.  Life just seems too short to only roll with the punches day-by-day.  I know I wouldn’t want back and look at my life and seeing how I waited such and such years as a countdown to when the kids graduated Hs.  [/quote]

Most people whose parents got divorced also blame their parents.  Most people blame their parents, period.  Look, some people get lucky in love and have nice, happy relationships, and their kids appreciate that.  Other people don't, and it's a less than ideal situation whether they stay or leave, and the  kids always think they should have done something differently.  I personally can't get over the number of ADULTS who are so upset and resentful when their parents get divorced, like it's still their business.  [/quote]

Have to agree.  You’re going to be blamed no matter what.  Just do research, listen to your heart, know the other co-parent and their abilities, decide for yourself.  Be prepared for the blame to come.  And mind you different children in the same household will differ on whom to blame and for what.  That’s how it is in my household.  [/quote]
