everyone knows that kids w divorced parents can have a rlly tough childhood but honestly let’s take a moment and consider the kids who’s parents never got divorced yet kept fighting and arguing every day… sometimes divorce is for the best option, both for partners and especially their kids

My mom says we can never understand what it’s like to grow up with one parent but we have always told her conversely she doesn’t know what it’s like to grow up with two parents who are physically and emotionally abusive towards each other

Divorce is not the worst thing that can happen to your marriage and it’s definitely not the worst thing that can happen to your kids.

Yeah, the reason studies say divorce is terrible for kids in because they compare them to kids with happy parents instead of kids with parents who should be divorced. When compared to the latter group, kids with divorced parents do better.

Actually we talked about this in one of my psych classes recently, and studies show that kids with parents who stay together in an unhappy marriage actually DO adjust worse than kids who’s parents divorce. “Staying together for the kids” doesn’t actually help if the parents are unhappy with each other.

THIS

Separate for the sake of your kids.
