AUGUST 23, 2012 From “We’re Still Family:  What Grown Children Have to Say About Their Parents’ Divorce,” by Constance  Ahrons, Ph.D.  Put together by Paula Van Doren[1]   To Parents: Keep your differences away from the kids so they don’t have to listen to it, and don’t make them make choices or choose between each.

This is by no means an academic piece but my observation and experience working with many parents after separation. Sadly when some parents separate they go to war. Is it intentional or are they driven by other means? Unfortunately relationships have been categorised over millennia into the legal system. It is adversarial. Someone wins, someone.
