		<description><![CDATA[The children are the ultimate victims of the conflict between the parents.  A good analogy is a child in a boat and the parents are on the dock watching.  The poor kid’s boat is sinking and the parents argue about who’s going to help and how are they going to help and accusing the other of not being there for the child.  While the parents are arguing over these things, the child’s boat sinks and he is really at risk for drowning now.  The same thing occurs emotionally for a child when the parents get stuck in a cycle of conflict over child support, visitation schedules, personal vendettas and who said what. ]]></description>
