Yes, the best thing that any parent can do for their child is to love and respect their other parent, but our children have always known that they were planned,wanted and conceived in love,and because of a lot of give and take and to some extent luck we are still together and still in love after 22 years. but surely where this is impossible for whatever reason, it is better for a child to have two happy but separated parents than two very unhappy parents(so long as they both remain in the child's life)What do the children of divorced parents think?Melodeon
