In my case, the answer is NO! I wish my parents would’ve divorced. Instead, they stayed together and ruined each other’s lives (and their children’s lives, which includes me) by having constant fights and driving everyone insane. I would’ve been so much better if I didn’t have to constantly be their therapist as well as walking on eggshells all the time around them. I wouldn’t have had to grow up getting used to constant shouting and throwing objects every day. I would prefer peace instead of whatever the hell environment I was “raised” in.
From what I’ve heard it’s often better to have a non messy divorce and try to be nice enough for your kids. If you try to fake it, it generally doesn’t work out.
Kids are smarter then many adults seem to think.
Can confirm the faking it is obvious from the kids point of view. Wasn’t terrible but we’ll never know what could have been.
