what would you do ?
Now this is a question for everyone that has divorced parents .If you could go back in time and show your parents how you turned out and what would have made it better what would you say .Basically theres 3 options
get back with dad/mom the fights are better than 2 households
Just date if you marry so and so you and I will regret it for the rest of our lives but feel obligated to stay
Its ok I turned out fine ?

NEVER stay for the kids. That hurts them more than helps them. Kids need to get over the fact that mommy and daddy are moving on with another person. It's just part of life.

Unfortunately, there are times when everyone needs an excuse for things that they do, or don't do, in their lives... People don't live their lives in a certain way because of how their parents lived... They might use their parents as an excuse for their own short-comings... Sometimes parents need and excuse to go, or to stay, because they really don't know what they want; they just know that something is missing... Children are stronger than people give them credit for... Most children turn out fine... If they don't, it's due to their own ideals; not their parents... Sounds like you might need a little pat on the back for surviving a split household... Good for you! For now, maybe you could concentrate on going forward in your relationship and remember to look for the humor in life... Laugh a lot and love much... Good luck to you and your family...

I'm from Divorced parents. I hated them fighting. No on staying together, as both parents found loving partners and were happy. I grew from that and learned from that and am married for 26 years now to a divorced man w/3kids all now grown. We have one together and he is 24. Now the 3 other kids would probably have wanted them to stay together, they all had problems, however, it really depends on the parents as his ex-wife is demented. The court case for divorce was nearly 12 inches thick. Kids were taken away from her more than once and put into foster care/protective custody. She kidnapped the kids twice and took them out of state. Oh yeah it depends on the parents and how it all pans out.
I think this is a very good question.......

Depending on how you get along I don't think it is always a bad idea to stay for the kids. If the two adults can continue to act this way in front of the kids (adult) then staying is not a bad idea. Of course if you are fighting all of the time then I think the opposite would be true.
