Subject: DH and I haven't fought in front of our son, which is why I think it will be even more difficult or shocking to him because it's not like he would ever suspect anything was wrong. However my problems with DH are heavy enough on me that I think I would be more peaceful being out of the marriage. I just hope my son never hates either one of us. ANON

Subject: It may be no consolation to him, but I bet a LOT of his classmates from school have divorced parents. He certainly won't be ''alone'' in that respect. You might want to tell his school psychologist/counselor person to check on him and maybe talk to him about it if it seems to be bothering him. eom/pm

Subject: PM, I saw that with my parents. My dad was abusive mentally, borderline on the physical. I saw him twist my mom's arm behind her back & hold her, tell her she was stupid, but he never hit her. I really did want her to ditch him....... but at the same time he was still my dad. It was very conflicting. I think a big thing is to allow kids their feelings, whatever they may be, & they may change from one day to the next. For us, one day it could be love & loyalty, the next, fear, apprehension, loathing. Good luck to you anon. And PM, I am glad you have some peace now. I can remember being really worried about what would happen when my dad showed up drunk & broke into the house. And the legal eagles said, there is nothing we can do, because it is still his house too. cc
