Parents shouting, parents splitting: it's not your fault, sentence 10
Children should not have to choose between parents; where a child lives ("custody") is a grown-up decision, and "I love you both, I don't want to choose" is a fair thing to say.
Who acts: Children, child, UK word · What happens: not have, choose, live, grow, be, love · To what, where: custody, up decision, you, fair thing · Speech: someone speaks here
