[QUOTE="Malika, post: 542389, member: 11227"] I think it's a tough one, MWM. Although from the adult perspective, it looks terrible that your soon ex-daughter in law is doing these things with a child present - and they are obviously not good things - I don't know that the solution is necessarily taking the child away from the mother. Even to go to the father. Probably it is the child's best interest in most case to stay with the mother, but I understand it is very hard to be on the sidelines in your position and see what you are seeing. A tough question: what would someone who [I]is on X's side[/I] say about her behaviour? Is there a way in which in can be more favourably construed? I am just playing devil's advocate. It could be that the stability and nurture of the other parent in these cases would be better in the long term for a child. But a child emotionally wants to stay with his or her mother. Who can make such a decision? It is a judgement of Solomon. [/QUOTE]
