I know that the question asked is a broad one, and i guess every family, situation, person is different. But I wonder if there is ever a time when its OK to 'side' with one parent against another.
When two married adults are in dispute with each other can there ever be an instance where the kids taking a stance against one parent can ever led to anything other than disaster?
My question was sparked by the ongoing saga in the Wigwe household. (Nigerian Ambassador to Kenya who's wife has alleged that he beat her. She even provided pictures of her bloodied face to prove it).
The accusations raised my Mrs Wigwe have caused quite a stir and Mr Wigwe, as I understand, has been recalled by President Jonathan to allow the Nigerian foreign ministry to perfect plans for a thorough investigation.
So, all this is going on and quite rightly too. After-all there are always 2 sides to every story so a full investigation of the facts MUST be done.
Meanwhile, Wigwe junior, 20year old son of Mr and Mrs Wigwe, has seemingly written a letter to.....well I don't know who it was originally addressed to, to clear his father's name and expose his mother as the guilty party in this matter.
Now, of course he is entitled to his own opinion of his parent's issues, but why O why would you put ALL you business out there for all to see? He said he wants to clear his father's name, but isn't he then soiling his mother's name?
Once this is dealt with and both Daddy and Mummy settle their differences (or one of them gets prosecuted!!) how will he be able to look his mother in the eye?
I'm sure he had his reasons for going to the press, but I just cant see how this is helping his family situation. Surely his father is big and bad enough to be able to clear his name without having to rely on his kids to show how bad a woman their mother is?
Or am I missing the point here???
