I had always assumed it would be more difficult for a young child to have parents separate, but I learned your age only changes the ways in which you are impacted. If you’re young enough to not remember your parents ever being together, it’s all you’ll ever know. But when you’re an adult (and practically a co-parent), and you grew up in a loving household, your parents’ divorce can feel like your own divorce. And there is a lot to let go of when you find out it’s over.
