Seeking Divorce After Long Separation Amid Gossip
A reader asks about divorce after nearly three years apart with a child in the care of his mother. The columnist advises that ongoing conduct causing embarrassment and no chance of reconciliation justify divorce, noting the child’s welfare and the displeasure of prolonged marriage. The piece reflects early 20th century views on family, divorce, and parental responsibility.
Children suffer when parents stay together for appearances
The piece argues that children endure harm when parents stay in a quarrelsome home to placate appearances. It suggests that a child may be better off living with one parent or with relatives to gain security, even if contact with the other parent is infrequent.
