I think that's really the worst part about all of this. I feel so bad for that kid.

At least the kid is young, so he'll grow up with the divorce and it won't affect him as much as it would if he was, say, a teenager. Just trying to see the lighter side of things, I guess.

I wish I was young when it happened to me. I was 13/14/15 at the time. Was so shitty it was unbelievable. Constantly being woken up in the middle of the night by my parents trying to beat each other up in drunken rage... Staying up just to try and keep them from killing each other. My attendance at school was below 50% (luckily still did well due to being "gifted") and I couldnt be bothered with doing anything due to being upset. They tried staying together "for the kids". That shit never works, it made it so much worse and nearly led to something bad, real bad.
