When Sidney was nine months her father, John McCain, got arrested after he was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and spent five-and-a-half years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam During an interview with The New York Times she said she doesn’t remember her fathers absence because she was very young at the time but she remembers his return.

Her parents divorced amicably in May 1980 and John gave Carol full custody of the children and agreed to pay alimony and child support, along with Sidney’s college tuition.

Sidney said that although the divorce was amicable it caused a rift within the family and didn’t blame Cindy for it.

“Cindy was very young too, and you can’t help who you fall in love with. I truly believe that my dad is very much in love with Cindy, and I think she is very much in love with him, and I think there is something very beautiful about that. At the time it was really awful.”
