Divorce and adoption

Has anybody who has adopted a child gone on to then divorce the other parent? Can I ask for your experiences of how the child/children coped?

Our LO is 10 now and has been home 5 years. They have Autism and ADHD (verbal, attending mainstream school).

My heart is telling me the best thing to do is to separate and move out - but I have no idea how this would function practically in terms of finances, custody, and most importantly the effect on LO.

I would really love experiences from anybody who has been through this. It's not a decision I'm taking lightly and want to be as sure as I can possibly be before I take that step and disrupt LOs life in any way.

This must be such a difficult decision, especially when your child's stability is at the heart of it. Whatever you decide, your wellbeing matters too, and you deserve support through this.
