Im not saying kids are stupid and don't pick up on stuff, but I think there is something to be said for keeping a family together under less than perfect circumstances. Its the easiest thing in the world to just cut and run; its a copout. If there are no kids involved, ok fine get a divorce. But I think there's a responsibility for both parents to be there fulltime for the kids.

I know a woman who waited till her mid-60's to divorce her husband, for the sake of her children. She waited until they were educated and self-sufficient before she divorced their dad.
