Our whole life is a series of interconnected relationships. Parent/child and wife/husband are probably the most important ones and our personal relationships the most difficult.
Divorce is never just a matter between two people. The majority of divorces involve children and all involve the wider family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The impact on their lives will be considerable.
