[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids are the true victims in a divorce.  Some handle it well, others don't.  A parent who puts their own needs before their children will always have a difficult relationship going forward.  A parent who puts their children needs before their own will have a good relationship going forward.  I have seen this in my own divorce.[/quote]

What advice would you give to put your kids' needs first if you are going through a divorce?  It seems a lot of people on this thread don't believe that's possible.  I haven't been in your shoes, so I'm genuinely curious how you balance the competing interests?[/quote]

Everyone is different and can only speak for myself.  I was honest with my children as to the cause of my divorce with their mother.  I never talked bad about her and haven't dated while the kids are my custody (originally 50%, now more like 25%).  My XW did the complete opposite and the kids eventually saw through her.  After 7 years they are there for me and don't believe they will be there for her.  It makes me sad and I tell them that all the time.[/quote]
