  We keep living together and keep it civil so we can both live with the kids. Its not without it’s problems but there is no fighting which is generally a good thing. We keep honest when the kids ask questions and try to answer them as well and honest as possible according to their age obviously.

  I was raised in broken family, my partner in one held by force.

  We both have mental problems, but mine are significantly lower…and mostly tied to my mother’s alcoholism.

  She, meanwhile, went through hell and tried her best to avoid being at home for more time than she was asleep. Took every additional class, participated in every after school activity and spent time hangin with everyone she could stomavh just to not be home.

  My worst memory is the defeat on my mother’s face when she couldn’t find job for a long time n-th time.

  Hers are screaming matches between parents bordering violence.

  Yeah, screw holding marriage together.

  In my case, the answer is NO! I wish my parents would’ve divorced. Instead, they stayed together and ruined each other’s lives (and their children’s lives, which includes me) by having constant fights and driving everyone insane. I would’ve been so much better if I didn’t have to constantly be their therapist as well as walking on eggshells all the time around them. I wouldn’t have had to grow up getting used to constant shouting and throwing objects every day. I would prefer peace instead of whatever the hell environment I was “raised” in.

  From what I’ve heard it’s often better to have a non messy divorce and try to be nice enough for your kids. If you try to fake it, it generally doesn’t work out.

  Kids are smarter then many adults seem to think.

    Can confirm the faking it is obvious from the kids point of view. Wasn’t terrible but we’ll never know what could have been.
