WebCam Divorce and Family Law Consults
Let's face it, no one really taught us as children or young adults how to manage our-selves in relationships, or how to manage our relationships themselves, and the experience of most of us is to stumble into marriage or parenthood and to make the best choices as partners and parents as we can as each situation arises. We tend to learn by trial and error. Our intentions are always good, but our decision-making often isn't. Error can be an expensive mode of learning, because sometimes these errors cannot be undone.
It is natural that we may blame ourselves for these perceived failures, and that we tend to view these perceived failures as personal defects in others.
In my view the stories of these shames and blames are not entirely true: Instead, our lack of success is more a function of a lack of access to information , education, and resources. Our own inadvertent ignorance is a more likely culprit than are the usual suspects that we tend to pin responsibility upon.
If it is true that no one has trained us for the challenges of relationship with others, is it not even more true that we have not been educated about the emotional and legal aspects of relationship breakup?
The psychological aspect of the end of relationship is very much an interior landscape for each of us. We hold on to the belief that we can or should control that zone of Many of us are very private and protective about this landscape, and are reluctant to invite any one in to help guide us through the process. This can create a serious barrier to grieving efficiently and then moving forward in healthy ways. Small wonder why we tend to repeat our mis-steps.
The legal aspects of divorce and relationship break up are quite different, however. People act as though they have the same degree of control over the legal process as they imagine that they have for their internal processes. The truth is that except when they positively seek to mediate or resolve their relationship disputes outside the courtroom, individuals are utterly powerless for the basic reason that the only decision they get to make is whether to initiate the process or not . Beyond that decision, their power to control their own lives ends - even to the point that they have no control over whether their spouse or domestic partner themselves chooses to blow the relationship up.
