I have a good TBM friend who has been divorced for 4 or 5 years. Her ex-husband has since left the church. She told me the other day that her young daughter no longer wants to stay with her dad and step mom because they drink coffee. Already the church is teaching this child to put the church above her dad. My friend has also told me how her son has been struggling with the divorce. None of his friends have divorced parents and no one in their ward is divorced. My thought is that the church is doing more to divide this family than the divorce is. I want to say to her (but don't dare) that one of the best things she can do for her kids is to take them out of an environment that teaches them that their family is broken and can't be happy because their parents don't live together. The church is a toxic environment to kids with divorced parents.
