This is absolutely the truth. My parents divorced when I was 13 but the whole degeneration of the marriage started earlier. I was the youngest of 3 and pretty mature for my age.
When I was told they were divorcing my response was something like "why bother informing me, it's your decision" or something.
I'm in my 50's and have been married for 31 years and have led a happy successful life, but the divorce of my parents and the aftermath have shaped my life in ways I'm honestly still figuring out even now.
Sorry it's happening OP and I'm incredibly sorry for your children.

Are divorce rates up lately? Seems like everyone is doing it. Facebook is constantly showing us how much greener the grass is for everyone else.

It definitely changes your life as the child of divorce. Even as an adult, you always have to visit them separately.
You'll have 2 of every holiday, birthday etc. It's also awkward when you have an event like a graduation where you'd normally want to sit as a family.
My parents are in their 70s. They are cordial to each other, but I don't think they really like one another.

I’ve witnessed this. My neighbor and his wife had two boys, both the same age as my son & daughter. They divorced when the older boy was about 10 and the younger a toddler. Mom moved out and moved in with her new guy. The older boy went from a normal, happy boy who loved playing baseball to a withdrawn “emo” kid and he never grew out of it. The younger one, he’s 15 or 16 now, is openly gay and I think he might “identity” as they/them or some similar insanity. Mom has always been one of those snotty NPR leftists and I think she views having a LGBTQXYZ@%¥+ kid as a badge of honor.
