    Kids are smarter than anyone gives them credit for and even studies prove that two happy divorced or otherwise separated parents are better than an unhappy couple. Not saying its going to be easy or that I know all the context but its worth thinking about what you’re teaching to your kids staying unhappy for the sake of a broken relationship with their mother. And for what its worth an internet stranger is sending e-hugs and his best wishes

      I literally know a woman whose parents hated each other, but chose to stay “for her”. Guess what, she’s still single in her 50s, because her notion of love and closeness is just so completely messed up…

      Also her father died of alcoholism.
