What followed his desire for a divorce shattered all I had learned about divorce as a child.

You never know someone until you've gone through a divorce with them.

Regardless of how fair and amicable you attempt to be during and after divorce, if someone is hell-bent on being angry they will irrationally refuse to be rational.

High conflict divorce can teach children valuable lessons.

Their parent's high conflict divorce taught them to take more seriously the meaning of "Commitment." I watch how they engage with their relationship partners and marvel at how willing they are to negotiate, compromise and set boundaries for the sake of the relationship.

They've seen the painful side of divorce which, I believe, will keep them from leaving a marriage without first leaving no stone unturned.

Lastly, our divorce taught our children to have no doubt about their value and worth as human beings.
