I don't post much but I'll bite on this.
My parents divorced when I was 6 (my bro was 2). They pretty much spent my entire childhood taking jabs at each other through me and my brother. Lots of psycological games and garbage like that. Looking back both were pretty crappy in that department. So my advice to divorced parents is: try your best to get along and if you must argue or trash one another, do it away from the kids. So In a nutshell I wish my parents were kinder to one another.

I get what you are saying. I remember the trip when my dad returned home from calfornia to visit us. I remember my mom and him getting into a verbal fight and them announcing to everyone within shouting distance that they were getting a divorce. I took it hard but once dad went back to California nothing really changed due to the fact we were already used to him not being around. The thing I took most away from everything that happened as a youngster was that I would be a better father and have communication with my kids unlike my father. I can say I think I have done a pretty damn good job. I even got my kids counseling when my marriage ended 9 years ago. Fwiw I never talked about my ex badly in front of my kids I let them figure that one out.

If y'all do have that talk, I hope it goes well for you FL. 
I just hope my kids will want to talk to me after they're adults.
When it's all said and done, I just want them to be functional, respectable adults.

Drug addicted mother who accepts 0 responsibility for her actions. Fortunately I had incredible grandparents and a great dad. Unfortunately my dad passed away right before high school graduation.

I had a weird childhood. Parents were in a cult and had all kinds of hippies and strange people stay with us. We were working poor
Wouldn't change a thing.

That I would have killed that motherfricker that beat my mother when I was 15 and my brother was 11. Baseball bat to the head when he was sleeping. We would have gotten off as we had to take my mom to the hospital the next morning with a broken leg among other shite he'd done to her.

Never had much money either but the memories, friends, experiences I had as a youth I wouldn't change a thing. I think I covered one thing I talked about in the OP.

Right there with ya man. I finally had to cut her out of my life after one of her episodes ended in me having to pry a loaded gun out of her hands as she was trying to shoot herself with my 2 kids in the next room. This was my reality growing up around her, i'll be damned if its my kids as well.

Not a thing. Didn't have much but we went on a family vacation every year and we were never hungry. I'm thankful everyday that good, decent people raised me into who I am today. So many kids grow up being raised by idiots who never grew up.

My Mom not dying of cancer when I was 6. It drastically changed my Dad and me and my brother in the process. I sometimes wonder how my life would be different and what a different person I would if she hadn't died.
