everyone knows that kids w divorced parents can have a rlly tough childhood but honestly let’s take a moment and consider the kids who’s parents never got divorced yet kept fighting and arguing every day… sometimes divorce is for the best option, both for partners and especially their kids

My mom says we can never understand what it’s like to grow up with one parent but we have always told her conversely she doesn’t know what it’s like to grow up with two parents who are physically and emotionally abusive towards each other

Divorce is not the worst thing that can happen to your marriage and it’s definitely not the worst thing that can happen to your kids.

When my parents were getting divorced I was so relieved. My dad was abusive to me and my mom and I was so glad to be getting away from him. But every single person I talked to was like, “Oh, your parents are getting divorced, that’s so awful, I’m so sorry!” and every time I was like “Dude are you serious I am ELATED that they are finally getting divorced.”

But the reason my mom stayed married to him for so long was because everyone was always saying how divorce is awful for the kids and it ruins their childhoods and such. It was only when she realized that by staying married to him, she was actually allowing him to continue harming us did she finally decide to get us all out. 

Basically, if you are a parent and you really want to get a divorce but you’re afraid of what will happen to your kids… please just fucking do it. Staying in a harmful marriage will be so much worse for them than having two parents who live apart.
