Heiress alleges ex-husband turned away from daily parenting, denied daughter a bedroom after split

New York heiress Belle Burden says her ex-husband, Henry Davis, stopped handling day-to-day parenting after their 20-year marriage and refused to give their 12-year-old daughter a bedroom in his new apartment, offering only Thursday dinners. Burden details in her memoir how Davis, who lives nearby, largely withdrew from daily routines like homework, while two older children stayed with friends or at boarding school and the youngest longed for a bedroom. Davis has given only limited explanations, describing a perceived “switch” that flipped, as Burden discusses the impact of the split on their family.
