Problem with this study is "Americans say". They asked a bunch of adults. It does not surprise me that a bunch of adults say that. To find out the correct answer, you have to ask children. And the problem with that is... children often don't know the damage that has been inflicted on them, and may not truly understand it until they grow up.

Yes but given that divorce has been common for more than a generation now, I'm assuming many of the adults they asked have parents who divorced when they were kids. Also,  as both the article referenced in a previous post &  many other well-sourced articles readily available via a Google search show, more in-depth studies also conclude that, generally speaking, kids with divorced parents fare better than those whose parents remain in high conflict marriages.[/quote]
