The child is torn apart
when the parents part.

Do not pull me in two directions.
There are two of you
and only one of me.

Don’t let anyone take you
by the hand to a decision
that it is only yours to make

Divorce might give you independence,
but it tears your children apart.

Broken Home,
Broken Life, Broken Dreams.

Don’t tear your child apart.
It’s not the child’s fault.

The oversized egos of both of you
Has ripped your child apart in two.

Don’t tear your child apart.
Please use your heart.
Adults should keep children
out of their fight,
Don’t use children to feel right!

Fractured thoughts and loveless soul
is what divorced parents can carve out

The arms of children
are not built to carry the burden
of their parents’ problems.

The love of a child should not
be a cause for competition.

Between your You or Me.
you forget that
all I ever wanted is ‘We’.!

The separation of the parents
causes the separation
of the child’s heart and mind.

Tugging at the heartstrings of a child
divides more than just love.

The world you created together
with love and care,
Bears the brunt of your separation
and grows in despair.

The cruelty of divorce
is to pull the children
in both directions
and ignoring their feelings.

You both made a “choice”;
leaving me with “none”.

In the world of separation
The only thing that is certain-
a destroyed moral
and being of an innocent child.

If they have to choose,
you both will lose.

Torn apart in the dilemma
of -individual perspectives,
rights vs wrongs or just plain ego!
Don’t make your children
your battleground!!

Love your child
with all your heart,
Don’t allow your ego,
To rip them apart.

Stop this Parenting Tug of War.
Crushing the child’s spirit.
Falling back on your egos.
Whoever wins, loses!

I am not your … “mine”.

Tug of war is a game.
Children are not.

“WE”, not triumphing over “ME”.

Don’t ask your child to choose sides,
they are equal parts of you both
and don’t want to divide their loyalty.

Torn between two worlds,
He struggled to find an identity.
