Can divorce actually be good for your kids?
Do you think divorce can actually be good for your kids?
Do you think couples should avoid divorce when they have young kids?
If you're screaming and fighting in front of your kids all the time.. Yeah, divorce is far better for them.
Even if you don't scream and fight directly in front of them, they can sense the discomfort in the air. There definitely hits a point where the pain of divorce isn't as strong as the pain of an unhappy home.
There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one.
Divorce is never an "ideal" situation but personally I think kids are MUCH better off seeing 2 happy divorced parents than 2 parents in a miserable relationship holding it together for the kids.
I think in many cases divorce is a necessary bad thing. I would never encourage a person to stay with their abuser in a marriage due having young children.
Quoting HaleyCovington:
It's not good for children to see their parents fighting all the time either. I don't think divorce is ever a "good" thing but some times it is necessary.
I have heard from friends that wished their parents divorced instead of living in misery. It all depends on the situation.
im a firm believe that staying just for the kids is ridiculous and will only hurt them more in the long run.
if the relationship between the parents is negative, divorce would probably be best for the childs well being. its very difficult to hide problems, and the stress effects the highly observent child. my daughter is almost 2 and she hasnt been bothered by my husband and i being separated for about 3 months. before, i noticed the stress was really getting to her. and my husband would even treat her poorly after an argument with me. this has been nothing but good for all three of us. my daughter gets to see her dad often, but shes otherwise indifferent about it.
It depends. If all the kids see at home is arguing, unhappy parents, yelling, fighting, unhappy parents, then a divorce would be better for them.
How can I take three children to the store by myself? I have never done this but my husband says he won't go anymore.
