Do you find it sad when couples divorce over children?
Like for example a retarded child is born. The wife wants to keep it. The husband wants to abandon it. Because of their disagreement the couple separate. Do you find such things sad? Cos originally the guy and girl loved each other so much that they had a child. And because of the child their relationship was broken. The couple chose to break up because of the wife’s love for the child.If the child was never born in the first place,the wife wouldn’t have developed love for the child and left the husband and vice versa, the husband and wife would still love each other and still be together. What do you feel?

its more than sad, our son is autistic but high functioning, he even drives. he is extremely good looking and girls like him but he doesnt seem to make any advances towards them, anyway i can’t express in words the wonderful blessing he is in my life.
my husband is gone and doesn’t care that he is missing out on his son or that his son needs him, but we are doing just fine, our relationship is not broken because of our son but because my husband is a foolish, selfish idiot.
these kids bring out the worse or the best in a person. I wish i knew how to post a pic of my son on here.
i feel that divorce is a great loss for all involved no matter how it comes about, that those that pledged their love have allowed things in life to take what they once had away. So it is sad to loose the love we once had and any loss of another is greatly felt.
That is sad. Anyman who would do that needs his ass beat. My nephew is special needs but his mom and dad (my sis and her husband) are stronger and closer each day.
The child is there. You can’t "send it back".
What I find particularly sad is the father’s inability to find the love in his heart for his offspring and for the woman he chose to have a baby with.
And I feel for the mother, discovering how shallow or lacking in compassion the man she chose for her husband is.
Here is a good example of the need for prenatal testing and amniocentecis - if the fetus showed that it was going to be retarded they could have aborted it and saved everyone a lot of trouble. Right now the husband is on the hook for the kids care whether he likes it or not.
I would find such a disagreement and separation very sad and my instinct would be to support the couple in remaining together.
When child dies it places so much strain on the parents that sometimes they separate, unable to live with the enduring sorrow of their partners.
I have learnt that not everything lasts forever and that when a relationship really is at an end, with no recognisable means of communication and accord, then its better to let go and move on.
I think it’s very sad to get a divorce over this circumstance. They should have discussed about this before they are trying to get pregnant, they would still be together. I think if they really love each other they would still work it out and still stay married. Sarah Palin and husband has a down syndrome child, they’re still married. He didn’t even know she was pregnant. So it depends on the couple.
I should appreciate her love towards her retarded children and her husband shd understand her feelings
Very sad. A cousin of mine got married and they had a child with down syndrome, he left her and had the gull to tell her she made bad babies.
This happens more often than not - and yes it is sad. But I don’t think you fully understand the reason. I’ve never heard of a mother leaving her husband and family because of a special needs child but I’ve heard of many, many men who leave their families because of the child’s need for special care.
There are many great dad’s (natural and step) that love and care for special needs kids but the vast majority of natural dads do not.
