Ouch–’I think my mom and dad are fighting because of me’

Background: Charlotte Hardwick’s Dear Judge (Kid’s Letters to the Judge) is a fascinating collection of letters which children caught in divorces have written to family law judges.

In the letter below, a young girl blames herself for her parents’ divorce.

Dear Judge,
 
I think my mom and dad are fighting because of me. Could you put me in a new family so my mom and dad can be happy again?
 
Sandy S.
