[QUOTE="witzend, post: 592441, member: 99"] I think that a happy family helps children, and it's irrelevant whether they are intact or not. Going back an forth is difficult for anyone, and I think that as children age they should have more input than when they are younger. To me the most important thing is for them to know that they are loved, and that they are [I]never[/I] a part of the separation between the adults. They should [I]never[/I] hear anything negative from one parent or another. You can't stop those things, and with some parents it is inevitable. For me with L, it was brutal and there is no way that she will ever have a clear head about me or most anything else in life. I believe she is a true sociopath, and the reason she is one is that the only way she got positive attention from her dad and step mom was by being hateful and abusive to the people they were hateful and abusive to. I might be wrong, and time will tell. In this day and age, I don't know why [I]anyone[/I] bothers to get married. I just don't see people like me who are in long-term happy marriages. Someone's always cheating or sacrificing or leaving. Anyone I know who is married for any length of time is much older than me, and I'm no spring chick. [/QUOTE]
