[quote=Anonymous]My dad left my mom for a family friend when I was 7. My parents marriage wasn't great before then, but I wasn't really aware of that. The divorce took 2+ years, my parents hate each other to this day and have only been in the same room on a handful of occasions where they had to (graduations, wedding). My dad is still married to the friend and I have multiple step and half siblings on that side; my mom never remarried. They both constantly talked shot about each other and do to this day. Basically it was "what not to do in a divorce"... except that they both fought for me and we're both very involved in parenting me. (I actually spent way more one-on-one time with my dad post-divorce because of some of the early divorce conditions.)

I am a happy, well-adjusted mid-30s pretty successful professional, who is happily married (to a DH with a super-tight nuclear family with happily married parents and 3 siblings) and has 2 young kids. I have pretty good relationships with both my parents, my step mother and my siblings. Divorce doesn't have to screw up kids.[/quote]
