I have heard that children need stability and that there is a myth that children do better when they are no longer in an unhappy marriage. Supposedly, studies have shown, that aside form marriages where there is abuse, children fare better in even teetering marriages as opposed to divorce. My H has heard the opposite from friends. I wish he would read a book that shows the long term effects of divorce. I have lived through it and I still do in my 30's. My mom is still strangely loyal to my dad who has been remarried three times. It really messes up the kids no matter what age. I affected my brother even worse than me and he is a grown man with his own kids.
