Bustercrown -“I was told by a wonderful Frum therapist that people don’t even begin to realize the devastating effects of divorce on the children, and that unless there is actual abuse or infidelity or something equally as serious c”v, notch at the best course of action if you want to protect your children, is to try and work thru the problems and stay together. Ndivorce should be the very last option, as I said only in the case of severe, severe issues.”
While I agree with this statement, I’d include things like addiction as a severe issue. Of course, the couple should try as a team to get the addicted party to stop, but if all else fails – divorce is a reasonable option. Addiction can be smoking cigs, alcohol abuse, internet addiction, etc.
