As a kid from a divorced fam, I find this insightful. Both from the female perspective but also the male. By stating that he believes those actions are unrelated, he’s showing the male cope to trauma - ignore/excuse the man’s actions as if they’re justified.
I see this reaction in my brother to our parent’s divorce, and to some extent myself however I see the impact of this on my shadow self.
Interesting, thank you- i hope Jesus can help them with all that pain
