Do kids benefit from a loveless marriage?

[MrMon]

Although it's possible for both parents to remain in their children's lives after a divorce, sometimes that's not so great either. My wife and her ex have joint custody of their daughter, with time split between them over a two weeks period of eight days vs. six. He lives close by, so her school is not interrupted, although friends are.

The way things have been going lately, with the daughter being 11 and the dad being a religious fanatic and control freak, wife/daughter wish he would go away, or she could see him less.

Sometimes, having only one parent is better.
