[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get a divorce, your kids will be damaged FOREVER. Don't kid yourself about this. Since DH is not abusing you or the kids, the right thing to do is put the kids needs first, and stay married until they leave for college. [/quote]

Sorry, OP, but +1[/quote]

Disagree.  Damaged forever seems pretty overly dramatic.

It all depends on how you raise them.
I have many friends that had parents that stayed together until they were in college and it HURT them more. They just wished they would get divorced already earlier. It also is a CRUMMY time to divorce. Just when your kid goes off and needs a solid level of support at home...BAM!

I divorced my ex when my kids were 2 and 4. They know their life as the new normal and they are happier because Mom and Dad are happier separated.  I do not think they are damaged, TYVM.

Speculative. How do you know if it hurt them more? We would never know that information would we?  Unless we are dealing with an abusive relationship, we really would never know the impact until after the fact. Reconciliation is always the best option. Until its not.[/quote]
