And to be honest who knows if the parents are telling the whole truth concerning the events that led up to this. We could always say the answer is to not marry for fear of divorce...but honestly we can never for see what will happen. My daughter is 17 and comes from a happily divorced home, sure I don't like her dad, but I have never more than just stated that simple fact to her. So I think it is deeper than just divorce here. Sometimes when people do know what's going on in the home and call, nothing is done, more times than not. Do you know they call before they come out to check up, or when they come out the parent is not authorized to open the door...so what can you really do even if you want to? It's sad I tell you.
I also agree that sometimes divorce is BEST for the child. But in divorce, both parents have to put aside their feelings and do what's best for the child. Just be honest and not use the child as a pawn. If there are legitamite accusations and concerns fine, but revenge for hurt feelings are unhealthy for the child, AND for the devorced parent(s)
I sure you know what I mean without me having to go into detail.
