Hi, guys —
A very dear friend of mine recently filed for divorce. Even after her husband tried everything in his power to keep their marriage from ending, she was unable to overcome her affliction and find the strength to stay in the marriage. She suffers from (RAD) Reactive Attachment Disorder.
Needless to say, their marriage was unhealthy from the start. The relationship is amicable, they are both Catholic, and share four beautiful children. They will seek an annulment once the divorce is final.
She has since moved out of the home into an apartment but now is wanting to share the home. Meaning, one parent will leave and stay in the apartment while the other stays in the home with the children during their parenting time. They would create a schedule and alternate parenting time schedules in the shared home. I'm really confused about this.
- What is the Church's teachings and advice for a situation like this?
I would think this would be very confusing to the children. Please advise.
Thank You,
Elizabeth
