One of my best friends' parents got divorced when they were pre-teens. She, the eldest, chose to stay with her father. Her little sister went with the mother. Things work out. They are all a happy family. Mom & Dad are back to being friends at this point ( 30+ years later) The youngest girl did a little playing Mom off against Dad, but they finally saw through that. They are both healthy and happy, with kids and grands of their own.
It's not a bad thing, should it happen that way. It's just different. What is normal nowadays, anyway?
