I believe Steve did a good job rationalizing what's happening to him; however, I cannot help but wonder whether the ultimate pursuit of "personal growth" didn't eventually estrange him from what should remain the most important in a person's life: his own kin. What deeply shocked me in the way Steve related to this transpires through the quotes below: cant you see ?
"Most likely Erin will get sole custody of the kids, and I’ll be paying some child support. That seems to be the best arrangement for both of us, given our future goals."
"I don’t mind taking on more of a financial burden in this case, not just with the bigger mortgage but with alimony and childcare payments too."
