Divorce is not always a bad thing, specially when you consider the alternative. My parents divorced when I was five, and I couldn't wait for it to happen, because daily life was hell with them (too many shouts and arguments). Of course I was sad it did not work for them, but after the divorce their relationship improved a lot and they stayed in good terms. Nowadays each of them found another partner and they lead happy relationships, what better result could you expect?

And being divorced did not prevent them from parenting. It was not always easy, but it was infinitely better than having to stand their arguments.
