|
|
My child’s other parent is very important
to our child. |
|
|
My child can do just fine without the other parent.
|
|
|
My child’s
other parent should not have anything to do with my child.
|
 |
|
|
|
My child
knows that it upsets me to speak about the other parent in my presence.
|
| |
|
|
I prefer that my child not talk about the other
parent. |
|
|
I encourage my child to talk freely about the
other parent. |
|
|
|
If it seems
that my child is missing the other parent, I encourage a telephone
call to the other parent. |
| |
|
|
I think the other parent should call only at
specified times. |
|
|
There are
times when I call the other parent to let him/her know that our
child would benefit from their phone call. |
| |
|
|
My child is better off not hearing from the other
parent. |
|
|
|
I have removed
all the pictures or reminders of my child’s other parent.
|
| |
|
|
My child
is not allowed to have a picture of the other parent in his/her
bedroom. |
|
|
|
I think
it’s good for my child to have pictures available of the other
parent and extended family members. |
|
|
|
I have placed
pictures in an album or other special place for my child.
|
|
| When the other parent wants to
switch days or a weekend with me, I say: |
|
|
No way. |
|
|
What do I get in return? |
|
|
If it doesn’t interfere with my plans, I
probably agree. |
|
|
Well, although
a bit inconvenient, since the request is fair, and I may need the
same consideration, I agree. |
| |
|
|
I know that our child would benefit, and agree.
|
| AS THE CUSTODIAL parent, I think
that: |
|
|
I have the right to call all the shots.
|
|
|
I realize
that cooperating as much as possible with the other parent is good
for my child, and good for me, as well. |
| |
|
|
I am the better parent. |
| AS THE NON-CUSTODIAL parent, I
think that: |
|
|
If I don’t
get what I want from the custodial parent, it’s ok to withhold
a support payment, or be late to pick up our child. |
| |
|
|
People will think that I am not a good parent.
|
|
|
I have a
responsibility to work as cooperatively with the other parent as
I can for the sake of our child. |
| |
| Choose any of these that best
describes your thinking, if applicable: |
|
|
If the other
parent misses a support payment, then I have the right to cancel
access for the other parent. |
| |
|
|
My child should know the reasons for the divorce.
|
|
|
Since I
don’t want to have anything to do with the other parent, it
is necessary for my child to carry messages. |
| |
|
|
My child
has overheard numerous disputes between the other parent and me.
|
| |
|
|
If my child loves me, then he/she will take my
side. |
