Children are pretty resilient. My parents divorced when I was around 5 years old. My father moved a lot and I didn't see much of him, and at times didn't hear from him for long periods. My mother remarried when I was about 7 years old. My stepfather was a great guy and it didn't take long for us kids to get used to having him in our lives. He and my mother had two daughters over the next few years and we all got along great. When I got to be 14 years old I moved halfway across the US to live with my father. A bit over a year later both my younger and older brothers came to live with him. That move did cause some friction between my mother and I but by the time my brothers moved out there she was fine with that arrangement. It had to be a lot easier on her and it gave her more time to spend with my sisters, so it worked out good for them too. For me, it worked out pretty good as well. My father owned a business and I learned a lot working with him, way more than I could have had I stayed with my mother and stepfather. So, I'll offer that if both parents make an effort to spend time with their child, refrain from criticizing each other around or to their child, and work together raising them, the kid will be fine. I have no regrets about how things worked out for my parents. They both remarried and found someone they did get along great with. They were all happy, and I got the best from all of them.
