My point in this is that yeah the WS clings to kids are resilient just as the LBS typically clings to the notion that divorce destroys the children’s lives. Neither are necessarily true and again much depends on how the parents handle it.
I do think it will more of a burden when they are older with their own families and they have to work two families into their lives on the holidays and such.
Nope. Not two families. Minimally three, including their own in-laws, or four if they marry someone who is also a child of divorce.
And my point is that we all do our best, yet no one will really know what their kids are experiencing until said children are much older - in their 20s - and start having those conversations about their experiences. They cannot fully articulate or understand it until their brains develop in late adolescence.
