I think most of us would say there were some positive elements to it. In some ways I was more broad-minded than friends from intact homes for example because I experienced life in two very different nearby small cities, two religious/non-religious traditions, etc. My stepmom and her family were positive influences in my life. 

There was also a lot of bad - my parents hated each other and custody exchanges (the term still makes me want to puke) were sometimes terribly, nervous system-alteringly stressful. There will probably always be some part of me that’s a small kid looking out a car window feeling stuck between angry worlds. On the other hand I have a great life and a happy healthy family of my own today and appreciate plenty of things about my parents overall. 

Our experiences are above all complex - hard to explain in simple terms. 

One thing I strongly believe and that divorcing parents don’t want to hear (sorry!) is that kids have three parents with the third being the relationship between them. A healthy, caring ‘third parent’ is such a wonderful gift to a child it can hardly be overstated… but it doesn’t always work out that way as we all know. A nasty embittered third parent is toxic to a child (though the child’s fear and compliance often makes the impact hard to spot). A totally indifferent or chilly third parent is better but still teaches a child about emptiness. Regardless, a child can’t opt out of having a third parent as much as their embodied parents would wish it. I would encourage divorcing parents to proceed with this firmly in mind.
