But it is my right to decide if a situation is not working for me. It is my right to make mistakes. If I make the same mistake five times in a row, that may say something about me, but it is still my right. I have one last beef with the arguments of these conservative groups. Sure, psychologists have done tons of studies.
Children suffer the ramifications of divorce long after the paperwork is filed.
What these studies overlook is the fact that parents can be emotionally separated yet not physically, and this can be just as detrimental. I asked Francine Sippel, psychologist if married parents are always better than divorced parents. She told me Absolutely not, especially in cases of domestic violence or emotional abuse, where there could be harm to the child. You have to outweigh the risks and benefits to the children.
