As Dr. Phil would say: "It's better to be from a broken home than live in a broken home".

When my ex and I got divorced I was petrified it would screw up our kids. The court-mandated class we took told us about a recent study that has shown children from low-conflict divorces turn out as healthy as kids from low conflict marriages. Children from high conflict marriages and high conflict divorces turn out poorly.

In other words, its the fighting, not whether you are divorced or married that makes the most difference to your kids.

For us divorce was the right call. We are both much, much happier now. We get along great and are successful co-parents. Happy parents = happy kids.

We've got a long way to go, but the notion that divorce has to hurt your kids is BS.
