I think I was only slightly better off when my parents were together. They say they stayed together for the kids.

I think its very possible to get divorced and not abandon your kids.

it's possible but i think it would be extremely difficult to maintain a normal/strong relationship, especially from the child's perspective.

I think that depends on the parents consistency with each other. But too often other factors of the parents sabatoge that.

i see what you mean, but i'm really talking about the child being able to adjust to the fact that the parent is not in their life on a daily basis. spending every other weekend w/your the parent does not replicate a normal relationship and i could see how a child may find it difficult to remain close the parent.
