DEAR DEIDRE: WORKING as a primary school teacher, I regularly witness the damaging effect warring parents have on their children.

It’s so sad to see. Do you have any resources I can give to parents to help them?

I have sent you my supp­ort pack When Parents Fall Out which explains more.

Separating parents can also contact Family Lives (familylives.org.uk, 0808 800 2222), who can answer any worries they might have.
