My parents never divorced I grew up with both but i'm a single parent myself, my son lives with just me & I guess yes its hard sometimes for him not having both parents but I feel it's better than having two who aren't happy together or one that isn't much of a parent at all like my ex.
Awful thing to say I kno but I wouldn't hav minded if mine had divorced &found happiness even if elsewhere, tho I can't say for sure cos they never did, they were robotic in parenting & never showed any emotion towards each other at all, my mother was a good housekeeper &child rearer & my dad a good provider, other than that I grew up with two complete strangers living in the same house, but then I suppose thats what happens in arrange marriages sometimes.

I'd really rather have two parents who are happy individually or with other partners than unhappy together, it's tough for parents too who've had kids together but don't feel compatible anymore & wanna move on yet b there for their kids & don't wanna upset them.
Not everyone ends up living happily ever after with the first person they hav a kid with, as long as theyre civil to each other &are there for their offspring as much as can be when living away from home it's a good sign. Of course staying together is better but only if they want to, if they don't they'll b unhappy & then so will the child.
