depends on the situation.
my parents divorced when i was 11. as much as i miss my father, i didn't miss them fighting all the time. i remember hearing them fight in the kitchen and my mom waving a knife at my dad...it made my sister and i cry all the time. i knew that the divorce was the best thing that happened to my sister and i.
also, it taught me a great deal about love. after seeing them divorce, i have realized that marriage is extremely important to me. as in, i value the concept of marriage. i want to make sure i find the right one for me. i'm currently married and i'm really happy with my husband. sometimes i wonder if we would end up in a divorce (anything can happen). my husband and i actually discussed it (he came from a divorced family also...but his mom and step dad are happily married for 25 years) and realized that we both believe marriage is something that should be takened seriously and we believe that we're in it for the long run.
so i guess you can say i was one from a broken family and took that experience and made it into something positive.

First of all, stop using the term "broken family" it'll make the child feel worse. They should know that their family isn't broken, just changing. They should also know that both parents will do everything they can to help them feel loved and secure. Even though both parents won't always be around, they should at least make an effort to be there for their children.

You can be happy. It's all in your attitude. You cannot change what your family has done, you can only change you. Remember that. It will help you a lot throughout your life.
I suggest reading a WONDERFUL book that helped me IMMENSELY in my own life so far. "Bad Childhood Good Life" by Dr. Laura. Look for it just about anywhere. I'm sure Barnes and Noble has it. It's just so incredibly helpful!!

I'm from a broken family. Look if you love your parents, remember they love you. Life is not perfect. You choose your happiness, it's not up to other people to choose it for you. Remember, when you start to get discouraged, look at your self in the mirror and start saying something nice about yourself. Then you will start laughing and you'll start to feel better. And when you get older don't look for the happily ever after it don't happen. Look for the one who is willing to stick it out no matter what!!!!

The children might have to make choices at time but they can be happy as long as the parents work together for the sake of the child.

I'm not quite sure but it is only possible when parents don't let feel about their separation and take care of them very well.
off course bad family relation affect children very much but if parents still treat them well and help them in their daily life then it might make them happy.

Sometimes it is better for a kid to come from a broken home, than to live in one.
If I had left sooner my kids wouldn't of suffered as much as they did when I finally left
Yes, they can be healthy

Yes, provided the child is allowed to grow accordingly. Allow the child all the space and resources warranted!
