Regarding the SOME children who are glad their parents separated- I know
two, very personally. One was well aware at the age of eleven that things
were better when her dad moved out of her house- and she still loved (and
still does love) him. She was, thankfully, mature enough at that age to
realize it was a change for the better. Her home life was quieter and
more peaceful. It took the other a while to realize and I think that
truthfully all do realize sooner or later that it was usually a good
decision on their parents' part to throw in the towel, instead of
drudging through the muck of an unhappy marriage. Anyone with enough
maturity and reason will eventually recognize this. It may be hard, but
sometimes it's just better. Love, Robbie
