I always felt sorry for the kids because of the fact that their parents screwed up and that the mom was an emotional train wreck. I also found in time that usually the fathers of the children were actually great guys and she was the sole reason for the divorce. Don't believe the stories about how terrible the ex husband was unless you have proof. Just remember that in time you will be the asshole ex.
Truth. I've dated my share of divorced or "separated" women. I always listen to them bash their ex but after you date them for 3-4 months you are thinking maybe to call the guy and have a beer.

IME it takes about 3 months to see the true colors of most women, but some much earlier.
I have seen first hand a few real asshole ex-husbands that were abusive, but IMO most marriages are ruined by women, either directly or indirectly.
I'm bored at work so i'll share a gem of a relationship that i had. Only time in my life that i've feared for my life from a chick.
5 years or so ago i worked with this Puerto Rican lady, she was smoking hot but had gained about 20-30 pounds of "extra" weight. She was on her third husband, no kids; we worked for the same company and i saw her almost daily. She was super introverted and never spoke to anyone, but i always made it a point to try and talk to her if i could; to the point that it was obvious i liked her. Well i didn't want to push the boundaries too hard so i just kind of let it pass. A year goes by and the company restructures, lots of layoffs and we move to a new building. Guess who's my neighbor now? Within like a week she's telling me everything about her and we end up going to lunch. A few months go by and she starts talking about her husband like he's Satan himself. Time continues to go by, we go to lunch once every few weeks. Then she shows up to work without a wedding ring; i'm like "game time"! I start flirting with her pretty hard, i can tell she likes it. I'm trying to be cool because i really didn't want to hook up because of the work thing, but i had been wanting to bang this chick for like 3 years.
I invite her our for happy hour, we talk and drink for a while. It's pouring rain so i offer to get her car for her in the parking lot. She hops in the passenger side while i'm pulling up to the covered entrance and before i can even pull away from the front entrance of the place she's got her tongue down my throat. We end up banging in the back of her SUV for a while, she begs me to stick it up her ass so i do, but damn it was dirty. Her SUV had to have smelled like buttsex for a week. Anyway, we end up "dating" for about 2 months while she's "separated" from her husband. She is what they make porn movies about, still to this day i doubt i'll experience the crazy ass sex we had on a daily basis. However, within 4 weeks i found out she is literally insane, like deep mental problems. The most selfish person i've ever met. Has insane anger issues, breaks shit all the time, threw stuff at me multiple times over trivial shit. Definitely Puerto Rican! I meet her sister and she tells me all these horrible things about her; i'm not sure why, maybe just to protect me. We split up, she stalks me for about a month. Posts all these lies about me on social media, which was funny because our relationship was hidden because she was still married; just made her look really bad. Two months later she quits her job, just walks out one day. So i'm thinking i'm safe? Nah, over the next 3-4 months my truck was vandalized several times, my cell phone number apparently got distributed to some weird website and i had people randomly calling me like 200 times a day. Someone shot my freaking cat with a pellet gun twice and tried to poison my dog. I think she knew i liked my pets more than her.
Long story short, she got back with her husband and found a new job. Funniest thing was i was at the BBQ Cookoff for the Rodeo in Houston about a year after all this happen. I'm standing outside a tent with some friends drinking and hear this lady screaming bloody murder and breaking shit in the tent across from ours. Here she comes stomping out of the tent and ends up walking right towards me, it was really crowded. She gets about 10 feet from me and i wave to her while smiling. The rage that entered her face will be burned into my mind forever, if looks could kill. She stomps off the other direction, i see her husband exit the tent covered in something, i think she dumped a plate of food on him. I look at him and wave, his eyes quickly move away. He goes chasing after her as she's stomping down the lot cussing like a maniac in Spanish.
The part that messed me up was that her husband was a very nice guy. While i was dating her i asked why she married him and she told me without hesitation "security, well you know money. I don't have to lift a finger and he pays for everything". He spoiled her rotten and put up with all her shit. Apparently this was her MO, after we split her sister still texts me a few times. Apparently that's what she does, marries guys for money and cheats on them. At least i got the freaky sex and barely spent a dime on her.
