[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing I regret is we didn't do it sooner. Sure, all of the things listed were part of the process and it was tough for awhile, but everyone is happier now. The kids have made that very clear. I didn't realize how bad it was for them in a home where their parents never showed intimacy or genuine love to each other. Sure, we piled all kinds of love on our kids, but not with one another. My kids let me know they knew it was over before we even did.[/quote]

I’m an adult and my parents divorced as a child. Don’t convince yourself this is better for the kids. Yes, it was nice not seeing my parents fight or not share a bed. But, the difficulties of them dating, pulling me in two directions (which WILL happen even when parents do their best), the moving house to house...it was really hard. The divorce was the best decision for them, but the burden of it fell on us.

I’m not saying I’d never get divorced if it ended up that way, but be clear that it’s ? about the parents and not the kids short of an house situation. [/quote]

ABUSE not house. Sorry. [/quote]

I’m sorry to hear the divorce was so hard on you. That was not my experience (I’m PP of the comment above ^). Maybe selfishness of a parent in a divorce is that they don’t protect their child sufficiently from that tear and back and forth. The kids should be off limits from fighting. Parents should always have their kids best interest in mind, if they didn’t that’s when they’re just thinking of themselves. [/quote]
