[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 592412, member: 14557"] I do believe that divorce hurts kids always. Thing is that at times not divorcing hurts them more. My mom and dad have 9 marriages and divorces (and countless live-in boy/girlfriends/common law spouses) between them. I kind of decided early I wouldn't add on divorce pile if anyway possible. And would never divorce for a better man while my kids were still home. Only if living with husband would be unbearable I would divorce and then stay single till kids were adults. I was also very careful to choose a husband and used my brains at least as much as my heart or other nether regions. (Found a nice compromise though.) However all my life decisions have been made keeping firmly in mind how it would affect me being able to survive on my own and taking care of my kids on my own. I almost feel guilty at times when I always make decisions taking that into an account even though we have been more or less, and mostly more, happily married over twenty years and plan to be at least next twenty.
