Well then, in your case, it wasn't so bad.
But I'm sure thousands of kids are traumatized each year by divorces. It can be pretty tough on someone - I have a few friends whose parents are divorced and it has <b>directly and profoundly</b> affected the child <b>for the worse</b>. Who was once a stable and happy girl is now an emotional nutjob because her parents are separated and she's convinced it's her fault.
So maybe the proper thing to say is "I got lucky that it wasn't so bad for me, but I can understand and appreciate the fact that it's pretty traumatic for a lot of children."
