[quote=Anonymous]My parents really did so little right, but the one thing I appreciate is that my mom (she had sole custody) didn't jump into a new relationship and really not one at all until we were older teens. It may not seem fair to say don't be in a relationship, but it showed my brother and I that we were most important to her. Where my father was in relationship after relationship and we were definitely on the back burner as far as he was concerned. He had time for us when he was between girlfriends, and then we were dumped when he found someone new. As for ruining your kids as that book implies, even if not an amicable divorce, that wasn't what I saw with my friends who had divorced parents. We're honestly all well-adjusted adults who didn't have issues growing up. On the other hand, my DH's parents could barely tolerate each other, but stayed married. And those are some screwed up siblings. [/quote]
