Because something has to be wrong. The parents are in the position of God to the children and God can't make a mistake so it has to be their selves that are the mistake.

Because neither of the parents take the blame. Someone has to.

I guess becasue the kids somehow think that it is THEIR fault, but it is not. Usually is just a problem or problems with the parents themselves. +5

Well...I am the child of divorced parents. I would say this goes on a lot more than people think. Parents will talk about their issues with the other spouse to the child and play the blame game. So the child is caught in the middle. Secondly, during the times of pre divorce parents are stressed out and a lot tends to make them snap out. Then parents will argue about the child, in front of the child and other children. Finally, the one that occurs a lot. The parents will try and get the child to take up sides. Oh come and live with me I will give you this and this and this. The child is put in the situation of feeling like they have to choose between two parents. Plus in the mind of a child things can be viewed differently. In my life, my stepdad abused me. I grew balls one day and told my mom. (The above happened on my stepdads side with little brother and sister). Lets just say she filed for the divorce the next business day. From my eyes what I told my mom created unhappiness in the rest of my family. So I felt like my telling, what I should have told, hurt others and in event caused the divorce. But now looking back it was the right thing. But I guess this is just my own experience with divorce. +3 good question!

the parents are idiots
