I have been divorced twice. I educate people on how to help children through the divorce process.
I was wondering what your thoughts are on staying in a marriage that is struggling [even after failed attempts at addressing the issues], while raising children together.
Some say[as my father did] "stay in the marriage for the sake of the children, until they are out of the home". Others believe [as do I] that staying in a failing marriage is detrimental to child rearing and has a negative impact on children. I invite you to comment and share your experince.

Thank you for you response. I am sorry that you needed to go through that. Your nightmare is a common one with children of divorce who witness abuse ... be well!!
