I once had a therapist tell me she's never had a client say they were glad their parents stayed together "for the kids sake" 🤯

I'm the daughter of a marriage of a "stay together for the kids" kinda couple, they fixed their marriage, yeah, but who gives me back my childhood?

I think we can all agree that parents don't stay together for the kids. They stay together because it's more convenient for them.

I’m happy for my mom that she finally divorced my dad, but I’ve always been a little upset that she waited until I was in college. I would have been happier if they’d divorced earlier.

"Now I'm grown and she has a real problem with me being my own person" That hit me so hard.

I found out my ex husband had been cheating on me, including when I was pregnant. I left him that very day. It's damn hard but I don't regret leaving

My parents stayed together “for the kids” so, on top of parents that were volatile, violent and hated each other, we got the guilt of knowing they did it “for us”.

I didn’t stay for the kids. I left because I didn’t want the kids thinking that was a healthy relationship and I wanted better for them.

it is never "staying for the kids" it is always to protect themselves from the discomfort of leaving.

I vividly remember being 7 and praying to God, pleading for my parents divorce. I'm 30 now and can definitely tell you that's way more damaging to a child than growing up with divorce parents!

and the "good" parent is so much harder to do work around bc holding them accountable forces you to face their choices and can emotionally orphan you

As a child of two people who should’ve divorced decades ago… this is accurate.

Honestly, hearing the “i dont respect my mother in a lot of ways” part and being seen as the difficult one was both cathartic and painful to hear, especially as an oldest daughter 😭

...this is my story. I feel so much less alone now, though also saddened to know this is (apparently) extremely common. thank you for the validation, at least we have one another.
