I think many LBS cling to the idea that divorce is horrible for the children not out of concern for the children (though they do love them) but out of a desperation that this is yet another thing that can hold their WAS closer.
I can only speak from my sich, and this is not what’s going on in mine. Every women’s pro divorce web sight has the quote children are resilient you do not find this quote on pro marriage websites. As a LBS it's my job to make the best of a bad sich for my kids. It’s impossible not to see the effect its having on my kids.

I believe each of these of these statements to be true, but think they apply to a small minority of families. If your family is normal and there is no abuse which I think according to DR is 90% of all divorces then keeping the family intact is better for the kids.
If anyone can post the positive effects of divorce on children I would love to read them.
