Better late than never.
The problem with that is that Ireland is a child who has no choice about being a public figure, yet this very ugly case is all over the media and politicized, with people speculating and criticizing the actions of her mother, father and even herself.
When I was Ireland's age I was the subject of an ugly custody battle and I can't imagine what it would have been like if it was played out in the media. While none of us can know her feelings, you can bet she is suffering over her parents' behavior. IMO, there is clearly an inappropriate relationship between father and daughter, and even mother and daughter, with the end result being that the child is being told to choose sides, facing the enmity of the parent she doesn't choose.
“”””the child is being told to choose sides, facing the enmity of the parent she doesn’t choose”””
How do we unravel the travesty - which is men and women choosing the wrong parent for their children?
We have reached critical mass.
