Some couples need to split up. We hope counselling will help, but when one of them refuses to work on the problem it can get toxic.
I’m as tangential as tangential can be, but I am also one of the kids who survived Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s divorce.
It wasn’t because of the legal case, which we know was dropped, or moral failings (which we know in today’s Surveillance State could’ve proved and charged him for if true). It was because their relationship had become toxic, and, in spite of the kids, had to end. It’s a shame “The Studio” used Parental Alienation tropes with Modern PR techniques, aka Cancel Culture, but they did. But, we know from interviews with Dan that Justin was burnt out, and the work relationship had simply ended badly.
We all wish The Beatles could’ve stayed together. And, it’s natural for us to play the blame game. Anyone whose done significant work on themselves, only to then find their partner (or child) refuses to do any work with them to rebuild knows that’s what divorce is for. No one is the “bad guy,” “we have no enemies,” and all that, but life should continue, even if it seems we have less to live for.
We can, perhaps, find some spark of joy in re-runs of “Archer,” “Adventure Time,” or I don’t know, “Buck Bunny.”
