Why teenagers often prefer the permissive parent after divorce

My teenage daughter says she wants to live with her dad full-time because he lets her do whatever she wants and I feel like I am losing her to my own good parenting.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The parent who maintains boundaries often pays the price of being less preferred, even when those boundaries serve the child's deeper wellbeing.
