Divorce is hard on the kids, no doubt.

But sometimes it's even harder for the kids to listen to constant arguing and fighting, or heaven forbid have to witness (or suffer from) physical abuse.

Sometimes divorce is the lesser of two evils.

You are out on a limb, but I share your sympathies. Society is too cavalier about it and the emotional cost on children.

At the very least, it shouldn't be so easy.

As the child of parents who stayed together until death, I never imagined what the children of divorced parents have to go through.

This Reddit thread highlighted a lot of experiences. I couldn't imagine wanting to do this to my children.

Divorce used to be illegal. People were trapped in horrible situations for life.

I hated requesting a divorce. As horrible as it was it was better than the marriage of 25 years. Waited until the children were adults.

Abused woman I used to work with would be dead women if divorce were illegal. Divorce is a scourge. Assault, battery, and homicide are worse.

My kids were relieved when I got divorced, They like spending their weekends with me, away from their mom.

Except in cases such as domestic violence.
