Any parents here go through a divorce? How did it affect your ASD child?

Neither of us are happy but we're worried about how our daughter will handle a divorce, so we're thinking it might be best to stay together and make the best of the situation.

I think if you are both unhappy with the relationship it could end up causing more problems than it affected my parents got divorced when i was 1 so i can't really speak on how it affected me but. Life changes are unavoidable. If she has a problem with it you can take it gradually. I guess how old is your daughter?

Kids do best if their parents are relaxed and happy.
I'm not sure that divorce necessarily has to be traumatic for a child, it depends how you handle it.
See if you can find a win-win situation for all.

This is great advice. If it's a mutually agreed divorce that's done gradually and in a way that the child understands. It doesn't have the be traumatic. If he's just suddenly ripped away from his parent for years it can be tramuatic. (though in my case this happened to me when i was 9 and wasn't traumatic at all. so :hmph:

I'd probably give other people the advice to split up, but I wouldn't do it myself. One problem is it would be too much work for one parent alone. If you're not planning on living alone with your kid/s, there will be a problem concerning the potential new partner of your other half and how that person will be able to deal with your kids, and this is something I'm not ready to do - hand the control over to somebody else.
Yet another problem is finding someone who's ready to move into your madhouse.

I think I would rather have divorced parents than having them together but living in hatred and cheating

My parents left me to flounder (I don't think they knew any better), so whatever you decide, please support your daughter (emotionally) as much as you can
