Frustration, loneliness, guilt and living with siblings, sentence 18

When parents say they «need some time apart», they live in different homes for a while to sort things out; it is never the child's fault.

Who acts: parents, siblings, parent · What happens: say, need, live, sort out, not be · To what, where: different homes, things, fault · Speech: someone speaks here
