How divorce affects young children
      #748549 - 05/23/11 03:13 PM

I'm new to this site but I would like some input on things regarding children and divorce. My husband and I have been separated for about 10 months, and within the last month and a half I have decided that I want a divorce. He is extremely worried about the effect the divorce will have on our 2 kids, ages 2 and 3. Him and I have been unhappy for years, so my question is, is it better to stay together and be unhappy for the sake of the kids, or is it better to move on and find someone who makes each of us happy? Will the kids be better off with 2 step parents who love them, and make me and my husband happy, or will they be better off with their biological parents being together despite being miserable? Thanks in advance.

Are you guys living in the same house or has one of you moved out?

The good thing about your kids being so young is that they wont remember the process of divorce... the things like daddy moving out.. you or him being crying or yelling at each other. Since my stbx moved out (only a week and a half ago) my 2.5 year old son has regressed in potty training and become very clingy with me but my stbx isn't trying AT ALL to make him feel loved. He really hasn't hung out with him much, doesn't call him, etc. So I really believe that if both parents can work together and keep their kids as their #1 priority.. the kids will have no negative effects from divorce. And it can't be bad for kids to have happier parents..

just my 2 cents... good luck!

In my personal experience, if you can really take care of your children then problems will come to them after the go into a community, for example schools. and they will not have a mother/father figure so a different sex kids living with only one of their parents will have a male/female characteristic depending on who took care of them. sorry for my bad english

Nobody knows your children better than you. Usually it depends on a situation. In general, your children are young and may be it's better to do it now, while their personality is not finally formed...but again, it depends...
