Dear Queenie,
Why do people who are getting divorced, or just having an argument, try to get everyone else to take sides and agree with them, even if the subject under discussion (especially a divorce) has nothing to do with anyone else?
Queenie, I just don’t understand why adults act this way.—Bewildered
Dear Bewildered,
They do it to get “moral support” and to try to prove that they are right and to punish the other party by isolating him or her from the group or. especially in cases of acrimonious divorce, from the family.
And, adults do this because adults do not always behave like adults.
