To be told that my mother and father still love me and will never divorce me.
To be told that the divorce is not my fault and not to be told about the adult problems that caused it.
To be treated as a human being---not as another piece of property to be fought over, bargained over or threatened.
To have decisions about me based on my best interest, rather than past wrongs, hurt feelings, or parent's needs.
To love both my parents without being forced to choose or feel guilty.
To know both my parents through regular, frequent involvement in my life.
To have the financial support of both my father and mother.
To be spared hearing bad hurtful comments about either of my parents which have no useful purpose.
Not to be asked to tell a lie or act as a spy or messenger.
To be allowed to care about others without having to choose or feel guilty.
