Can Divorce Ever be Good for the Kids?
A journalist asks whether a divorce can be good for kids?
Since 40% of divorces involve alcoholism on one side or the other, 40% of the children of divorced couples are psychologically, verbally and emotionally abused by one or both parents.
A divorce could be the best thing that ever happened for the child, IF he or she ends up with the right (non-addicted) parent. And, in many instances a divorce is just what the addicted parent needed to inspire in him or her a need to get and stay sober. (Not as frequently as we would like, but it’s one more bit of pain the addict so desperately needs.)
