Re: Is there any hope for this couple
Hmmm, has professional counseling been tried regularly? How old are the two boys. I saw on the Nadia Khan show, a psychologist who emphasized that if parents wish to get divorced, that they postpone it until kids are older, more mature, and can better comprehend the reasons for divorce. I hope it hasn't come to that yet.
But, how are the kids taking all of this? Are the kids MISERABLE when mom and dad are fighting? OR do the kids actually feel MORE AT PEACE when the parents temporarily SEPARATE or TAKE A BREAK from each other? OR do the kids feel better when mom and dad are together, but normal with each other? This observation might help the couple in making decisions regarding the marriage.
It's a tough situation. On one hand, I feel for the kids. And on the other hand, I feel that if EVERYTHING has been tried to salvage the marriage, and if things continue to get WORSE and EAT AWAY at your peace of mind and soul......then it's better to split if that's what will bring you peace and allow u to be a more happy and effective person....or even parent to your child.
