“because of you”

I was just thinking about how it could actually be a bad thing to tell a child that their parents nearly got divorced, but chose to stay together because of the child.

Essentially, one or both of them would have actually been happier on their own but chose to forsake that for the child. You could’ve been happy!! But you stayed? For me??

How should a child feel about that?

I mean, even if things are great now, that’s still a heavy thought to grapple with.
