[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is worse completely depends on the circumstances.  My parents divorced when I was an adult and the past 15 or so years of their marriage were pretty crappy.  But I think it was better for all of us that they waited.

By the time I was in high school, they lived largely separate lives and slept in separate bedrooms.  But, they rarely fought around us and were civil/ friendly towards one another.

Other than coaching our sports teams, my dad was not an active or involved parent.  My mom     did all of the other parenting responsibilities and did them well. If my siblings and I suddenly started spending half of our time with just my dad, it wouldn’t have been great for him or us.  It also was better financially.  My mom was a SAH mom and then went back to school to earn her masters when I was in HS.  She then started a successful career and was financially independent by the time they divorced which made the divorce easier.  That said, if they had argued often or had a lot of ongoing conflict, I probably would feel differently.[/quote]

What kind of masters and career did your mom pursue? I’m potentially in that boat and collect success stories whenever I can.[/quote]
