Great talk, Andrew. Looking at divorce from the child’s perspective instead of through the lens of an adult is key – thanks for bringing that up. Also, making it an ontological issue, first and foremost, is another great point. We are social creatures who derive our identity from our bonds.

Our very reason for being is grounded, in part, in the bonds we form and how strong they are in our life.
Thanks again for the talk.
