Milly’s parents are divorced. Not only does Milly have to contend with not seeing both parents and all of her siblings every day but she must also regularly switch between two homes. Like any child living in a shared care arrangement, frequent changeovers are completely unavoidable and can leave Milly feeling a little vulnerable and apprehensive. Milly likens her experience of changeovers to being at an airport, a parent airport. Although she mostly experiences a smooth ride, each flight has the potential to involve at least a few jumps and shakes. After all, frequent change can be hard.
