This week in class, we talked about divorce. It is interesting to think about how people often separate physically and create a significant amount of distance between themselves during and after divorce.
We discussed why people separate physically when in difficult relationships. Maybe it is a way people try to lessen the pain. The truth is, however, no matter how far physically you may get, the conflict follows you wherever you go. It is inside you and needs to be healed from the inside.
My professor told us that the average distance for fathers to move from their families after divorce is 400 miles. He then asked us why. Because of the monetary costs of divorce, fathers often have to come up with more money and one of the big reasons for moving is to get jobs.
