So, this is coming from a perspective of someone who has been through his parent's divorce, as I am not married myself (yet). It is an extremely difficult thing for a child to go through - and I'm sure most people with divorced parents will say the same thing. My parents divorced when I was very young (six) but I still feel the effects of it. I still have to 'choose' who to spend holidays with, there is a constant unavoidable feeling of disappointment when I spend more time with one than the other - it's tough. I'm 23 and it's still tough.

But in the end - I know that it was the best thing for them to do, and I know that they never WANTED to hurt me in the process. Some of the things I had to go through, the (multiple) custody battles, etc - they weren’t easy. Basically having to tell one of your parents you don't want to live with them - it's not easy. 

Divorce is something I hope I never have to go through - it's something no one ever plans on going through - but I know that it's inevitable in some instances, and people can rebound and become stronger from it.
