Are you a product of a divorced couple?

What would you have done differently if you could or would you? My parents divorced when I was five. For many years I hated them for it, always begging them to get back together. I had pictured them together and us being a perfect family. Saddened by the fact that it wasnt happening I wound up going to therapy for many years. Now that I am grown with a family of my own I can finally understand why my parents would have never worked out. There are many things I regret not understanding while growing up but the situation has made me who I am today. I am the proud mother of three and wife of 13 yrs thus far. Are you a product of divorce? What are your regrets and or acomplishments?

I parents were divorced when I was younger and honestly I think our life would have been worse if it didn't happen. I seen my mom go through some hard things with my father and I don't want her to deal with that. I have no regrets or anything.

Yeah I think that oviously there are some situacions that call for immediate seperation. I just think about it sometimes that it would have been nice to have been raised in a 2 parent household. I am pretty sure it would have saved me from some stupid mistakes I did when I was a tween or who knows write?
