Re: Marriage without children?....And divorce
"I've known people who have made each other miserable, and even some who have been vengeful towards each other. These people were not healthy together, and it wasn't healthy for the kid. The trauma to the kid is inevitable in divorce. On the other hand, it's not unlikely the kid will be spared trauma if the parents stay together. So who's the winner here? That the kid wins is iffy at best, and the parents are worse off."
I have a hard time relating to this, I guess because Ive only been in one long term relationship that has been going well. If the one of the parents is a drunk, then of course I support the other parent to raise the child alone. If one person is set on being destructive, then the kid is better off having only one parent. I just can't imagine having a child, and then not seeing them X days out of the week. It seems pretty [censored] up.
