My W regularly tries to convince me that if our R goes the way of D, we will be able to handle situations with the kids well since we are both loving, caring, rational parents. I've always been skeptical of that and know that nothing ever goes as planned.
Well, this IS true. The crux of the matter is that my kids, your kids, everyone on this board kids will be OK. They'll just never be as OK as they would be with two happy parents in a committed M. That's the part about the WAS that bugs the hell out of me.
I don't subscribe to the theory that a D will ruin my girls' lives. I do know that it will affect them in ways that I'm just not smart enough to anticipate right now.
