Why do good parents become incompetent during divorce?

Question by rrm38: Why do good parents become incompetent during divorce?
I’m just curious and would like input from others as to why, when some couples divorce, all of a sudden one or both people deem the other an incompetent parent? I know there are exceptional cases that involve abuse or drug/alcohol addiction. I’m wondering about situations where each parent thought the other to be acceptable, but then demonize one another as parents when it comes time to divorce. I’m not going through this myself, as my divorce was years ago and we work together as parents. It’s just something I’ve wondered as I read some questions posted in this forum. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
