How does this start in a family??
This starts when parents start to disagree on most things and start to argue with each other almost everyday. Also one parent may be abusive towards the other or to the children. While the other parent may leave their spouse.
Children
Shouldn't have to go through parents yelling to each other and arguing who gets the child. While the child just wants the parents to get along to stay together and be happy with each other.
Family's
So many family's get separated and many children end up with the wrong parent because of gender or their past.
