Michelle, I do agree an intact family is better. But her husband is not really part of the family. Even Dr. Phil states it's better to be from a broken home then to be in one. Her husband leaving and returning and back-forth has got to be anxiety provoking and stressful on the children.
I am a child of D. I am glad my parents D'ed. I could not stand the stress of the next big fight or what would happen next. I was worn out dealing with two upset parents. Seeing my mom crying all the time. At least with D there was peace in a sense. As a child you knew that there finally was some predictability to life. I did not worry about what I would come into. If my father would return home (no he was not cheating), etc. Nonsense like this...
Just my 2 cents
Maria, I wish you the best
