I think you actually got (a little) lucky that it happened that early. I don't even have memory from 3. You never knew anything different. If you have a complete family first and it rips apart in your face that probably does the most damage. I promise you it can fuck kids up. My parents split when I was 9, my brother was 10. I don't want to explain other than, if I had kids, well I'm not going to do that but let's just say my brother was expelled from school within roughly 2 years (expelled at 12 or 13) and developed serious anger issues that fucked him up to about age 40 even with occasional therapy. Sure there are kids, maybe like you, who it doesn't affect much, but that's not your dice to roll.
