L, he could be very wounded. YOUR job is to not let it 'Destroy him"...
he'll still have more than most kids (globally speaking at least) and that is two healthy parents who value him dearly, a home (or two) with a roof over his head, medical care, schooling, electricity, he can vote and work and drive when he's older...heck, that puts him in the top 20% of the world. If he were female, I'd say top 5%...
It's not much, I know...but at times like these I remind myself to get some perspective.
Also sadly, at least half my kids friends are divorced so there's not the old stigma and sorry to say this but yes, the kids do get used to it. Not fine with it, but it stops "Destroying" them when WE give them the strength to see
OUR PAIN, which is deep, BUT not fatal, and though it's hard as heck to wade thru it, it's not eternal pain either. We DO get better and happier, and so will he.
Use this as best you can, as a life teaching moment. IT's the only 'upside' to this ordeal, learning new ways of communicating, caring, and listening, and
becoming better people for it.
