Something to also think about, if you'd like, which might "bake your noodle" is that you're assuming that if you "caused" your parent's divorce, that you did it when you were young prior to their divorce.

What if you take time out of the equation altogether. What if your thoughts/beliefs right now have the ability to alter your past.

What if the current belief system and sum of all thoughts right now in this moment creates your future and your past at the same time. You just said that there "is no way I would be who I am not if it had not happened." right? What if that is why you created this story of your past where you parents divorced.

How do body builders build muscle? They put their muscles through strain. THey force their muscle to try to lift something they can't lift to the point of exhaustion, and then you become a stronger person physically by that.

What if this "divorce" that your parents had was created by you for the purpose of making you a stronger person. What if?
