When my parents got divorced, the custody arrangement was really hard on everyone - especially the kids. They had to split their time between two homes, and it was confusing and stressful. Custody battles are never easy, but the most important thing is what’s best for the children.
当我父母离婚时,监护权安排对每个人来说都很困难——尤其是孩子们。他们不得不在两个家之间分配时间,这很困惑和压力。监护权争夺从来都不容易,但最重要的是什么对孩子最好。
