She used to cheat on my dad when I was 10. My dad? He used to cheat on my mom almost his whole married life. It really is difficult to live in a family where your parents are fighting over the same issue every now and then. I know they're supposed to file for legal separation, but whatever is the reason why they still live together until now is out of my business anymore. I am an IT professional now, and the reason for this success is that I learned from other people's story and have these lessons applied to my life. I even read writings about other people's lives. I understand. I read. I listen. I pray. I laugh. And, of course, I live. My mom? She used to cheat on my dad when I was 10. My dad? He used to cheat on my mom almost his whole married life.

Good points for parents facing divorce. I like that you suggest for them to simply look for changes in their children and to never take things personally when children express desires to spend time (even if it's extended time) with their other parent. Especially if it's their non custodial parent. I think it's natural for children to yearn for extra time with a parent they may have felt distant from. I also love that you discussed the fact that children's priorities shift as they age and have activities and a social life of their own. In a nuclear family that's considered both normal and encouraged. But with divorced parents it can be viewed as a betrayal, which is wrong and selfish. Great post!
