Let us say you are the child of a divorce. Scarred during your formative years, by the raw hatred between the 2 parts that joined to make you. What good can come of a child whose own makers admit he was the fruit of a mistake, the fruit of short sighted-ness, the fruit of bad judgement? Divorce is also one of the biggest rifts than can happen between siblings. Kids get manipulated to pick sides, believe in one story or the other. When their little world gets Torn into two by what Mom Said VS what Dad Said, torn into siblings believing mom VS siblings believing dad, is it any surprise that in adulthood all they see is Male vs Female, Blue Pill vs Red Pill?
