Throughout my divorce, I heard that children were resilient and believed that mine would be fine. Nothing could be further from the truth. They suffered terribly, and they still have issues that can be traced back to a divorce that was final over 15 years ago.
I would like to know how other parents have dealt with the aftereffects of divorce on children.

Hi KW,
It looks like this forum is only you and me, or i don't know how to find other posts!
I think each child (person) has there own reaction to the world. Resiliency to circumstances in life and how you endure difficulties comes from somewhere else not how your parents state of marriage was, it's too big of a human issue to be looked at from the parents marriage as the way you process the world, i want to believe it only contributes, but does not form you.
Kids still have stuff to deal with even when parents are in stable marriages.
Growing up is hard, certain circumstances do make it more complicated for some, but so many of us see and hear about children that have what seems like insurmountable situations thrust upon them like being an child orphan or parents lost to drug addiction.
As a child I grew up in a neighborhood filled with holocaust survivors.
This makes me think that it's all about how a person deals with adversity, not necessarily what the adversity is that is thrust upon them.
I hope this makes sense :)
