Hey all this is a neutral question not from the show's perspective. I really want to know how does Co-Parenting actually work?
Do children from broken homes really suffer this bad or in reality they get to spend time with their mom and dad as and when they wish to?
Also if one of the parent is remarried , what could b the complications?
In real life I think co-parenting is extremely complicated..will be unique to each relationship..at different stages of life..age of kids .and if there are more than one kids .effect on each kids will be different..a lot of variables will affect it... financial situation of each parent .. support mother has. Circumstances of seperation..nature of each parent and each kid.and it will vary as children grow up and have some say in matter .but one thing is sure it is inevitable that a child will get affected by a broken marriage..some more some less..I know someone who had different stages of co parenting at different times of their lives..they evolved with time and distance and had forgiven each other and mellowed a bit...it again changed when kids became independent..but a person needs to evolve everyday as parent .have to think a child before themselves always..I read somewhere that heal before you become a parent so that a child doesnt have to heal from having you a parent..but every child will be scarred to some degree if parents have a bad relationship irrespective they stay together or are separate..parenting is tough and it's a process. Evolving as a person is easier said than done..but since it's a conscious decision for a person to bring a kid in a world.. they need to think about their kids well being before themselves..it's what I feel..coz I have first hand seen damage of broken home on an individual
