I have trouble with that being the "only" scenario. They could have worse problems with their mother (especially if they're female :-) or remember something totally different about their relationship with their father. I don't think a T can "predict" what a child is going to do like that! If they could, that would solve all the world's problems. I think it is bad form to put all the problems of the marriage on one partner, make them look like if the children have trouble it's that partner's fault.
