How has divorce effected you?

Were your parents abusive to each other and/or to you?

Was there any alcohol or drugs involved?

Do you wish that your parents could have worked things out? Or are you happier now that they are apart?

Which is worse - dealing with divorce - or watching your parents obviously not love each other anymore?

I'm speaking in general terms, but also trying to decide for myself. Should I sacrifice my own happiness and stay in a loveless marriage so my daughter doesn't have to deal with a divorce? Or would she be better off seeing two happy, but seperated parents? Would I be any happier alone?
