[quote=Anonymous]I think only kids who have suffered through out-of-love parents barely trying to hide their contempt for one another understand the harms that come from "staying together for the kids." As someone who had to live through parents who stayed together "for us," I can't fathom where people get the idea that it's a GOOD thing to stay in a bad relationship to "help" the kids. It was miserable to watch as a kid and a teen, more miserable to enter adulthood believing that that's the way married couples all are (because as a kid you have no model other than your parents), and a burden in adulthood when I had to work through the idea that my sibs and I "caused" them to stay miserable because they stayed together for us.[/quote]
