Our Children Divorce and the Divided Child
Discussion on custody patterns where one parent gains full custody while the other has limited visiting rights. The author argues such arrangements create divided loyalties in children, who may attempt to reconcile or blame the absent parent. Short visits are especially stressful, leading to exaggerated efforts by the visiting parent to entertain the child.
