Cat, IMO I believe children will be negatively affected by a divorce, but it doesn't mean they will be unhappy, unhealthy and the like. Work towards minimizing the affects of the divorce and your children can do just great. You, and they, will get through this and come out on the other side just fine. No, it won't be want you wanted, but make it good. You do have the power to do that!
