View submission: Trying to find the reasons.
My parents broke up when I was very young. I never knew the reason. It's always bothered me -- less as I get older. Children look up to their parents, put them on a pedestal, even when they don't deserve it.
One thing you can be sure of, there are some very ugly truths hiding there. Nobody wants to be the one that tells the child that their parent is a bad person. Knowing the truth may give you some closure, but people are shielding you from something that they believe will hurt you.
You might benefit from some therapy. Perhaps a professional counselor will know how best to deal with this.

Excellent point about the secrecy with family members is a form of protection!
