SMW...you may hate to hear a parent say that, but it is the truth. I dind't say that things don't affect the children, of course they do. What I was saying was that children have a great ability to get on with life whilst all around them falls to pieces. Their views are sometimes simplistic and that is a good thing.

I can understand your anger at seeing those type of comments. What I DIDN'T say though, was that they will 'bounce back'. They won't, they will carry it with them as you said. They do tend to be able to adjust easier though as everything around them is a learning experience. My 2 sons don't like what has happened between their parents, but they are sufficiently well adjusted to see that it wasn't their fault, nor that marriage is a bad thing. We have done nothing to change their views on that.

Sorry for T/J JD, but I didn't want SMW to misunderstand my point. (I hope you see what I meant a little clearer now SMW!)
