Divorce: Sad Fact 6 January the peak time
Sad fact no 6: Divorce layers have their busiest time of the year on 6th January and for the rest of the month.
Why January? Why January 6th?
The short answer is it is the time of year.
There is nothing special about the 6th except this year it is the first Monday after the political holiday of Christmas & New Year so is the first day solicitors or counselor are available to deal with the disagreements that come with this time of year.
January is a cold, dark, depressing month causing a lot of people to be sad and suffer Seasonal Affective Disorder due to the lack of exposure to sunlight to create vitamin D, in modern urban life.
The other major cause of divorce in January is because of Christmas:
*
conditioned by tradition to be a time with the family (parents often treat their children as they imagined they were in the distant past not as the grown ups they are now)
*
you do not choose your family so may not have anything in common with unlike your friends.
*
it is socially acceptable to drink excess alcohol to dull the self control – therefore get aggressive behavior.
*
The meaning of Christmas has been lost since Pope Gregory had the military power to suppress the riots he caused when he chose to shift Christmas day to 25th of December to show he had more Political power over men than the movement of the Universe.
*
Modern Society is founded on the false myth that you can buy happiness with stuff & so hype up toys’ prices for Christmas.
*
Arguments occur about spending so much money for nothing of value at Christmas – refueled by the arrival of the credit card bills in January.
*
Stress relief with more retail therapy in the sales & buying holidays
*
New Year – new you so it is time get rid of those holding you back from your destiny who are not prepared to change.
This year there is the additional pressure due to the policy of the Government of supporting the banks creating the credit crunch recession.
