I Divorced in 2019. The problem was my marriage was over 10-12 years prior. I tried to hold on for my two daughters, thinking it would be best to have both parents under one roof. Both are adult girls living on their own now. My Oldest recently told me that her mom, and I, had a Tumultuous Marriage, and that hit home for the first time hearing her say that to me, because I thought I was doing what was best for them, by staying. Her saying that, confirmed to me that I was wrong for staying, knowing the marriage was over.... NEVER stay in a broking marriage, or any other relationship for the sake of kids. You will only teach them how to tolerate DISFUCTIONALITY, and every other thing, that's NOT normal, or healthy in relationships.

A two parents' household doesn't guarantee a stable home. Sometimes is best to co-parent. I know a family that is messed up today because the mother stayed for the sake of the kids. They are adults now and need therapy. Sad situation 😢

People think children don’t know or pick up on things. I have a friend in a marriage where they are basically living like roommates. They don’t argue in front of the children ( well two are now college age and the youngest 11 is still at home). However, they don’t show affection for each other in front of the children either. I’m like you think they don’t pick up on that?

I have a friend who is in a very toxic marriage. His wife refuses to work or pays bills, she gets them into debt and is very violent (verbally, emotionally and physically). He told me earlier this year that he won’t leave the children with her (she wont be able to cope as he does EVERYTHING). He said he’s waiting for his youngest (3years) to be 18 years and then he can think about starting a new life without her. He just announced that he and his wife are expecting a new baby. 👀 Personally, I think it’s healthier for the children if they co-parented in separate homes. I can see how the wife’s behaviour is already affecting the children’s development and unless the children get counselling, I am worried that they will think that this marriage is normal and in the future they will also have toxic relationships.

I think marriage especially is about duty and parents do have to sacrifice for their children but this dynamic will do more damage than good in the majority of circumstances. We also have to acknowledge that many people get together and have children loosely with no ground work and we have a lot of single parent homes. Many people who say they are staying for the children may actually be in denial and scared to be alone. So many angles

there is no such thing as 'staying for the kids'. i learned that as a child. parents who do this are either deceiving themselves, or too ignorant to know that it does far more harm than good.

I simply could not do it. I don’t want a man I can’t stand in my space. I love my child but I have to put my oxygen mask on before I can save my baby.
