[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the kid in this scenario.  I don't know why people seem to think it doesn't cause issues.  I had a ton of guilt feeling like I was the cause my parents stayed miserable for so long.  Then I was angry at them for making me live in that environment.  It was just so unpleasant, the animosity was obvious.  Then I was resentful of the stress it added on to my freshman year and the difficulty it added on to an already difficult transition in my life.

I didn't go home my entire first year, not even for Christmas.

It took quite awhile for my parents and I to repair our relationships.   [/quote]

That sounds rough, PP. I don’t think freshman year is a good time to divorce. [/quote]

Honestly, there’s never a good time. Someone who took it this hard when they were a freshman in college would probably be even more devastated as a freshman in high school. Maybe navigating two households and the stress of the transition would have derailed her college chances completely.

There’s never a “good” time. [/quote]

+1 when k-12 kids involved.

Depends on the mindset of each parent. Are they truly putting the kids needs and securities first? Or is one parent putting themselves first only?  
And yes, a parent /Ex can be do both at the same time but that requires brutal honesty on the kid side.[/quote]
