@alyonacooper: Woman to woman… Nobody talks about how heavy this question feels when kids are involved. Some women stay because they still believe the family can heal. Some women leave because they believe peace matters more than a perfect-looking home. And some women are just tired, confused, and carrying a decision that breaks their heart either way. No judgment here. Just an honest conversation women usually have quietly. Follow for more real woman to woman conversations. #womentowomen #WomenOfTikTok #healingtok #motherhood #womenhealing

My parents divorced when I was 24, right after I got married and had my first baby. Because I was an adult, they talked to me about their relationship in a way that kids shouldn’t know about their parents. I was so used to them being together and I had an idea of what my life would be like with my own family and my parents as grandparents and it was ripped away. I would have preferred them to get divorced when I was a kid/teenager.

I was the child who grew up with parents staying together just to say they were together but hated each other. I refused to do that to my kids. My kids get a better version of their mama since I divorced their dad. And I still get them 95% of the time ♥️

At the time of my parents divorce I hated it & wished they would’ve stayed together but as I got older I realized how necessary it was & was so thankful they chose that instead of staying together unhappy

Watching parents stay unhappy. I learned so much about life and relationships from watching my parents be miserable for 20 years but I really wish I hadn’t had to learn any of it.

What about both parents working and fighting to fix the problems, restore the communication. Drop the ego and hear each others wants and needs and work as a team to work on themselves to be what each other needs….thats what they did in the old days. Nowadays everyone throws in the towel. What about showing our kids we can change, we can fight for what we love and we can become better. Not just throw it away for something newer or different cause u promise that new situation will come with its own list of issues

I have a range of ages on my boys. 22,18,6,5 months. My 22&18 year old looked at me and said “ mom if you are staying for the kids. Please don’t. “ Getting a perspective of my older kids gave me my reason to leave.

It’s a lose-lose. Neither is better I’m afraid no matter how much people try to convince themselves.

As a divorced person.. it didn’t solve the hurting and having to deal with the other parent. It did add new challenges.

I chose to leave and share my kids half the time because I realized if I stayed, they would have grown up learning that this is what love and marriage is supposed to be. Sometimes it’s healthier when the kids parents aren’t together. It is very hard not having my kids half the time… but this decision was better for them

For me, I’d rather my parents separate. When my mom would leave for work, my dad seemed the most happiest. And I loved seeing him happy. I would rather them be happy together though.

My kids struggled for a while. But now, 2 years in, they have come to terms with the new normal. I just tell them Mommy and Daddy can love them without loving each other, and they can love us both without taking sides. I think the most important thing is supporting their autonomy to love and be loved ❤️
