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.
Tangentially, it reminds me of the sociological study that showed rates of suicide dropped dramatically if a person felt like they were apart of a larger social unit and would disappoint those in the group if they committed suicide. 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.
