[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 635600, member: 14557"] Hah, I'm one of those with intact family, but I have to agree with Echolette: It is the difficult children that cause divorces. And I'm (more than half) serious; having a special needs child(ren) is incredibly hard for marriage. Doesn't make much difference if they are difficult children or high special needs other wise. It simply is hard. Though we have joked with husband that difficult child is a reason we haven't divorced; neither of us wanted to deal with him alone. I'm not saying that my difficult child wouldn't have benefited from having intact family and strong extended family support network around him; it certainly has helped and if that would had been different I do believe we would had even more problems with him. With some kids a ill timed divorce may cause an onset of dabbling with drugs or something like that, but then again, so can best friend moving to other city. So absolutely no point blaming oneself about it. Of course everyone who has kids should make every effort to make a best possible divorce and shared parenting experience for the kids, but anyway in life things happen and we can not protect our kids from that all and every time.
