When Kids Are Caught
in the Middle Between Battling Spouses
When parents just can’t get along, it takes
a noticeable toll not only on their relationship
but especially on their children. The parents
on today’s show have a difficult time being
civil to one another but recognize a need for
change for the sake of their kids. Find out more
about their stories below:
Even after seven years of separation, the pain
of Marcus’ and April’s bitter divorce
still has not eased. Marcus has made allegations
of child abuse against April and the man she re-married,
while April accuses Marcus of neglecting his parental
duties over the years. Now Marcus is trying to
gain full custody, which April refuses to permit.
While both Marcus and April deny fighting in front
of the children, they realize their feud may have
a serious effect on the kids. Show expert Dr.
Debra Mandel suggested that Marcus and April stop
pointing the finger at each other and look inward
for the solution.
