Father and son, is it a more stable relationship than mother son?

With divorced parents, the child is usually trasferred from father to mother. It is usually a painful process and an older child is sometimes left to "select" between father and mother. What about you? what are your thoughts about this?

That depends on the people involved. A good parent would make any transfer as easy as possible for the kids. I was divorced and my ex didn't want the kids. For the first year he came and got them occasionally but after that he only came on holidays. So I would say that it clearly depends on the people involved in the situation. There is really no cut and dried answer to this.

depending upon my personal experience i think mother son relations are much stable when compared with father son relationship, because i think father son relations are unpredictable

I dont know if you can generalize aboutany family relationships but speaking for myself I know that I have been the most consistent prescence in my sons life.
He is living with his dad now but that's becasue I dont think he has ever really gotten to know his father. It is an ok relatisonship apparently.

I was fortunate to have parents who loved each other until the day God took my father. It's true that the children suffer the most when parents divorce. My first boyfriend's parents separated and he stayed with his father. Because he had no mother to care for him, he never really learned how to treat women. He wasn't really a bad person, he just didn't know how to handle women. It's sad that couples separate that easy. I hope they will take into consideration the welfare of their kids.

I think divorce plays a huge impact in children's life. They are the one'swho are most affected. the worst question that is being asked to them is to choose between their mom and dad which is emotionally very difficult. I think this should be avoided the most and try to be together as a family always.
