Divorce is never easy, even when it’s relatively mutual. This is particularly true when the two adults share kids or, even worse, when the decision to split up was the result of some particularly difficult event. The parents have to navigate treacherous waters with children who are feeling betrayed all while managing their own emotions.
A man asked the internet for advice after his messy divorce led to him picking his sister over his own daughter. We got in touch with Marilyn Wedge, PhD, LMFT, a child and family therapist, to learn more about divorce and how it can affect family dynamics between kids and parents.
