Of course, everyone's circumstances are their own, so generalizations must be taken with a grain of salt. But when my parents divorced when I was 12 years old, I felt a tremendous burden lift off of me. After all, they had stayed together for me and my younger sister, which was obvious to me, and all that time I had to work hard not to tell them to split up and make our lives less miserable.
