Summary
Dear Amy: Your response to the thoughtful letter about adultery in our society included your surprisingly judgmental comments on divorce, and how people are "only kidding themselves" if they think such actions won't affect the children. I agree.
You did not, however, point out that deciding against divorce can also adversely affect children. In most cases, children of unhappily married couples know the marriage is shot and are subject to damage if the parents "stay together for the sake of the children." I know, because at age 9, I was relieved when my miserable, viciously angry parents divorced. In fact, they became far better parents afterward. \ The fact that you are a divorced parent left you looking rather hypocritical. Not all divorces are products of infidelity, and many are necessary for the sake of everyone involved, including the children. - PerplexedSee the full content of this document
