The thing is, when you have a child with someone, like it or not, you're going to have to have a continuing relationship with them.

Relationships can go wrong very simply, very quickly, and when you have children you become more aware of relationships around you.

You have to support your children to have a healthy relationship.

Sometimes people can be guilty of not working at relationships and if it's not working, oof, that's it.

You can't have a child just to keep a relationship together, can you?

It is so important that you don't stay with someone just for the children and for the wrong reasons.

When children arrive, or when some crisis occurs, couples don't have the resources to deal with it because they've been so busy getting on with their lives. They haven't learned how to sit down and discuss things.

I've never understood why the end of a relationship - especially one involving children - has to immediately signal a descent into hatred and toxicity.

Divorce isn't just the person, it's everything that goes with it - your kids, the adjustment, everything.

It's a different experience to be with your kids when your spouse isn't around.
