Leaving usually isn't a question of desire as much as it is that once the parents split up, they don't have lives that move in the same direction. Imagine living in a small town of 6000 and then splitting up. Husband wants to stay but you get a wonderful job in New York City.. Husband has joint custody. You would love your child to come with you, but Husband has 1/2 custody and want child to stay. Well... Sometimes I think it would be better for the child if one parent or the other just accept letting go. Sometimes the decision to stay by the child in a selfish decision not in the interest of the child. What would you prefer, 2 constant people who play the perfect mother father role, or 2 biological parents always struggling to work things out.
