I think D15 feels comfortable talking to you. I agree that no matter how mature or intuitive a 15 year old is, they have no idea what a marriage really entails.

I think kids often want a "quick fix". They are the techno generation, after all. Things are uncomfortable and D would like to get back to being comfortable. I had similar comments from my sons. They don't understand how long and painful it is to unravel a long-term R. How could they possibly understand that when they have yet to experience it? I think they mostly want the bad feeling to go away and view a quick divorce/separation as the way to achieve that.

How did you feel about D15's comments? Other than being surprised that she voiced them, I mean?
