If I were a pediatrician or family doctor, I would be tempted to yell at the parents who are considering divorce. I would tell them to stop being selfish and accept the fact that they can’t walk away from their responsibilities as parents just because they “don’t love each other anymore.” Love is not something you fall in and out of. It’s not just a feeling, for God’s sake! I actually did yell at and burst out in tears and say those very words to our son when he announced that he and his wife were splitting up. Our grandkids are still paying the price for their parents’ foolishness, and we the grandparents are too, in more ways than one.

My spouse has never “recovered” from his parent’s divorce right before 9th grade —and he’s 62. He freely gives away copies of the evidenced-based book, The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce, to anyone who will read it.
