My parents fought constantly while they were together and I think that was far more damaging to me than their divorce was. They divorced when I was 16 and I had a rough time well into my 20's, but it had more to do with the emotional damage of their hatred for each other and my dad's double life. Getting divorced was one of the best things they could have done and it probably would have been a lot less traumatic if they had done it a lot sooner.
I myself am divorced but my ex and I did not have kids. I'm now in a position to get married again and this time will be having kids with my partner. At this point I feel like I've learned so much about myself and know that I'm finally in a healthy relationship, so I'm optimistic that I will not be getting another divorce.
In terms of success, it depends on what you mean by that, but I love my life and I'm very happy both personally and professionally.
