But yeah, so they got together young, I think quick. Then they got divorced, but the patterns continued. And that's one thing we see. A lot of high-conflict divorces keep going even after the divorce. The actual divorce date is like a speed bump in the lifetime of high conflict if they have children together.

I think exactly. And as I mention in my book about bullies, I think polarization really demonstrates that. So once you're in your group... and you see the other group as not only having a different point of view, but as the enemy, then your brain doesn't need to work on it anymore. That's case closed. They're the enemy. The only question is, what do we do now?

And the research saying that when you talk to the people in your group Rather than coming together, you move farther apart. And to me, what's fascinating in terms of legal cases, and especially in family law, is you have, like the family I described, you have the family talking to each other. You pull a lawyer into that. The lawyer talks to them.

The lawyer gets heightened anger maybe or commitment to save this person. And maybe you get a therapist into the picture and they all just talk to themselves. They pull farther and farther apart. And that's often when we have our high conflict court case. They come back to court every six to 12 months. Sometimes for years.

I have cases where people have been in court like every year for eight or nine years. And these are cases where the divorce was done long ago. What people don't realize is the worst custody disputes tend to happen after the divorce is over. And I think it's because people are spending more and more time talking to their own team, to their own group, and that pulls them farther apart.

Their view of the other side is worse and worse and worse. And that's why I think the structure really matters. So I think politically, we have these two different universes that don't necessarily talk to each other. And they really create a sense of community. People are looking for community, and they find it. But it's fed by, I think, the media ecosystem. Everyone has their own media.

And so we have these two universes talking to themselves, growing farther and farther apart. And that's why elections don't seem to have made a difference in any of this. Because elections kind of decides who does government, but they don't resolve the adversarial communities. And they get a lot of attention. And sad to say, I think our culture has shifted from government
