It never ceases to amaze how children are used by one partner against the other.
Parent Be Careful
How often one can hear this coming from the mouth of a mother
Saying belittlingly to their sons “You are behaving just like your father
On an occasion when she may deem his behavior
Is such, that she may not consider it to be proper.
Let say for instance, that he relationship has gone sour
Whether it be one’s fault or the other, no matter
But do not try to plant in the mind of the son
That his father may be responsible; for all that went wrong.
This, being done so often; May then cause the youngster
To really have a very dim look at the man who is his father
As he is being programmed to believe, that his dad is always associated
With mannerisms which should not be emulated.
Most youngsters, more often than not revere their father
And in their eyes, their dads are nothing short of being heroes
Therefore by telling them, that when they behave in such a manner
Is representative of their fathers could be a passport to disaster.
Now if a youngster’s behavior is such that it is not becoming
Find a very different way, not name calling, of handling
Don’t think, it’s a good thing to focus on the only person
That he may consider a champion in his mind’s vision.
Sometimes when couples have become separated
Some spend time and energy, on each other to berate
Will go to much length and ever will so often
Play Russian roulette with the minds of the children.

The mind of a child is too complicated that parents prefer to simplify it. Belittling a partner is not only mean lack of respect to the partner but also to the child. Nicely done!

This is so true and children shouldn't have to choose between parents. Parents shouldn't put their kids in that position.
