Paul Twitchell, the modern day founder of Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ, once said that people pick up the karma of the one they marry. I thought a divorce would end such karma. But the way it sounds, this is not so. I have to wonder how I will ever work it off, as I have been married four times. Could you clarify this, please?
Yes, marriages do cast long shadows. Children of such unions are a prime example. If there is a divorce, who will care for them? What about visitation rights? If the parents are of different faiths, to which church will the children go? And so on.
But cheer up. All karma can be worked off.
First, accept your responsibility in such matters by fulfilling the legal and moral obligations that accompany divorce.
Second, give up all your resentments and anger toward your former mate and any acquaintances that came of the relationship.
