Just had a random quote pop into my head here... didn't Dr. Phil state it better for the kids to be from a broken home then "in" a broken home?
Yes he does, and it sticks in my head a lot these days. I can attest that parents who stay together "for the kids" but have a nasty, negative home environment with either yelling or stony silences (this all describes my childhood- I used to hide in my closet b/c there was so much yelling and crying), is not a good thing for a child. I think all of us wish we weren't in danger of having a "broken" home for our kids- that's not what we wanted. But probably if they see their parents peaceful/happy and apart, that's much better than the alternative. I wanted so much more for my daughter...
When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go; And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving slow; Go ask Alice... I think she'll know.
