Ha. It was about 40 years ago...found a great husband...and my son turned out great...surviving joint custody to become a great Dad...because...I insisted he have a relationship with his Dad and his Dad’s family. Extended families are very important in divorces...I grew up in a divorced family with estrangement from my Dad...and my paternal grandparents...and have never really forgiven my mother for that. A child needs both parents and their families.
” A child needs both parents and their families.”
We see the results when this fails.
