It seems that Scientologists Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are getting divorced. TMZ (I am sorry for linking to TMZ) reports that they were ready to do battle until they learned how damaging battling parents could be for their daughter, Suri. Now, they are working together to divorce amicably.
While I applaud all parents who realize the word doesn't rise and set above them (it's not all about you), and put their children before their own selfish wants, Suri be better off if they found a path to reconciliation.
After all, many studies (like this one, and this one, and this one. These are by no means the only ones) show that children whose biological parents stay together do better in school, have healthier lives, and have more successful relationships then children of divorce parents. The Children whose parents divorce are more prone to drop out of school, be abused, and be unemployed. In nearly every category, children whose parents stay together do better than those familys who don't.
Tom and Katie, since you truly love your child and want to do whats best for her, why not get into counseling, step over the inflated egos, lose the pride, drop the selfishness, and find a way to resolve your problems?
