One of the saddest things you can see is a married, separated or divorced couple escalating their fight against one another when there are children involved. It's so very sad for the children, words can hardly describe. What is even sadder is the couple may be actually fighting over the kids, like the kids are some kind of commodity. They each say they love the kids but what is really happening is they are being selfish and treating their kids like a product. If they really loved their kids they would allow the kids to chose who to stay with, as long as it's in a safe, good environment. Once the kids get old enough to really make decisions on their own, they will look back and make their own conclusions about which parent was right.
If parents are fighting over children and a home the children are living is unsafe or unlawful, the struggling parent should allow the governing laws to address the situation. This requires patience and lots of work.
If the homes of both parents are livable and safe, and the parents are fighting on social media, calling police on each other, cussing and fighting in front of the kids, then the parents do not deserve the kids and social services might intervene and find good homes for the kids until things can be worked out.
If you are such a parent: strop fighting. Stop subjecting your kids to stressful scenes between you and the other parent. Grow up. Get professional help if necessary. No one should be ashamed to see a psychiatrist.
