Study shows that Parental separation can have an adverse effect on the child, it can cause unhappiness to the child which will then translate into low self-esteem, behavioural problems, and a sense of loss. However, if the parents take time to communicate with the children, explaining why the separation is happening, and show their love for them – and continued contact, so they don’t feel abandoned by the parent who moves out – these feelings usually disappear quickly.But that was not the case with my guest whose parents separated when he was just a boy.Take a listen to his story.

There are two things that happen when you decide to share your Story.  Initially, you will experience a freedom that you didn’t know you would receive, even though it is exactly what you needed. Secondarily, there will be a doubt that comes knocking at the door of your mind that will try to convince you that you shouldn’t have shared in the first place. I have been there. My encouragement to you is to listen to the voice of freedom and remind the voice of doubt that it has already been beaten.

He realized he didn't have a balanced Life, He tried incorporating some fun activities to his schedule, but work gave him a reality check for even attempting it. He was tired of living a robotic lifestyle, working tirelessly, closing very late from work, getting home very late to have just a few hours of sleep. For the sake of his sanity he had to do something. and that was when he considered the idea of relocating out of the country.
