[quote=Anonymous]People are really projecting and it’s interesting that they’re such black-and-white thinking on this thread. If you immediately hear the scenario and absolutely think there could be no way of getting a soft landing or absurdly. My while childhood was a lie! you are black-and-white thinking and not thinking rationally.

Absolutely no dog in this fight, parent of teens and no plans to divorce, but I have seen friends do this with an absolute soft landing. I think it helps obviously if the divorce is amicable, and when the kids come home, the parents still are willing to do things together as a family, and someone is still in the childhood home.

I know of one couple where the Dad spends some time/overnights in the guest room back in the family home during the Christmas break. And they still do some family vacations together. it is absolutely a soft landing, but the parents have decided they want to go their separate ways and eventually as they move in in the coming years this might stop, but it seems like they’ve done a smooth transition over a period of years.
